Time to move on and we lifted anchors at 8.30am and headed off
towards Lucinda to enter the Hinchinbrook Channel.
Out went the fishing lines and bingo we had 3 mackerel in no
time.
The freezer got well and truly stocked and we had fish frames
for the mud crabs.
It was a very uneventful sail through the entry channel and we
had a minimum of .9 meters under the keel. The long sugar loader jetty still
fascinates me. It is 5.6 km's long. Must be the world's longest conveyor belt.
Hate to have to fix/replace the rubber on that one.

We arrived at Haycock Island just after lunch and quickly got
the crab traps baited and set in the mangroves.
I took Leon for a quick fish around the island and only caught a
small trevally which I think is a Permit. Fly fisherman come all over the world
to catch these fish. Not sure what the attraction is. Supposed to be good
eating.
Sunset drinks were on Ngak Ngak with the fleet anchored in the channel
