12th August Gayandah Creek via Cardwell to Dunk Island 33nm


The morning came and we had been eaten and bitten.

The yacht was crawling with little black things.

Had breakfast and as soon as we could retrieve the crab traps we were out of there. Another lack of crabs too after the crab pots got monstered. Very angry crabs I think but the pots I have are too small and were no good. No bait was left in the pots.



We set sail for Cardwell to get fresh supplies.



High tide was at 12.30 so we made it just before 12. We have to anchor out about 1.5 nm and take the dinghy ashore because it is so shallow.



It was a quick trip into the IGA store and to visit the hardware shop to fill the gas bottle.



We were back on the yachts by 1.30 and set sail for Dunk after I untangled the fishing line from the propeller. I forgot to wind it in when we anchored. Idiot!!!



We arrived at Dunk Island in time for a quick walk and a beer on the beach.
