Cook went across to Lizard Island in the pinnace (smaller sailing vessel carried on board Endeavour) from where he hoped to see a way through the barrier reef. When we set out on our journey “following in the footsteps of Cook etc” little did I imagine how literally we would do so. From the high point on the island you get a good view across to the reef and the view to “Cooks Passage” is helpfully indicated.
The rather exclusive resort on the island is a post Cook development. On a Monday, Wednesday and Friday they obligingly allow hoi palloi yachties to eat and drink at their beachside bar. I followed my reducing meat regime and ordered a falafel wrap but Annie was led astray by the lamb wrap and so we compromised and shared them. Both were absolutely delicious.
