Hi All

Another gorgeous day in paradise! We had a lovely day sailing today up to Gary's Anchorage. I have no idea who Gary is or was but he was obviously here at some time or another and has this little inlet named after him! It is about a third of the way up the inside of Fraser. We left Inskip Point this morning and we were motoring against the current so after a half hour of motoring we decided we would just pull in close to Fraser and wait until about lunch time when the tide turned. So while we were there we went ashore and wandered up the beach. It is long and pristine and quite beautiful. We wandered up the beach and I saw an interesting shaped log in the distance so I thought I would walk up and take some photos. Only to discover that it was not an interesting shaped log at all but a sad washed up dugong on its back with its flippers in the air. It did not look like it had been there too long. Bit sad really. We also found one of the many jellyfish washed up on the beach with the outgoing tide. I took a pic then Jon picked it up and through it back into the water to try and save it but I am not sure it lived.....oh well....we tried!


But anyway....we had a nice easy day. Not much to report. Sailed, tacked, sailed, tacked, motored, read, read some more, anchored! 

So going to go now and have a shower, get warm and have dinner!

Love to all!

Jellyfish everywhere in the water!

 


View back towards Inskip from our stop at Fraser. You can still see the Fraser ferry on the left so we weren't too far away.

 


Just a few pics of Pegasos cos when you're on the boat you always get photos of other people's boats!

Just in case you were thinking of leaving your children unattended or even your small teenagers!

 



A man and a boat!

 


Beautiful Fraser Island beach


Burley attacking the gear stick and lazing in the sun. Clearly feeling more comfortable!

 



Tough life being a cat!



 




 


Oh sailing is such a tough job!
