Friday 16th November

There was a wonderful crescent moon early in the evening followed by a dark sky into which a heavy sprinkling if stardust had been thrown. In light winds we motored to the civilisation of Hamilton Marina where a one hour stop allowed us to stock up the stores, refill the water tanks and buy an ice cream. We then sailed further south to Lindeman Island and were at anchor in Plantation Bay in time for a late lunch. A total of 18.5nm was covered. Our walk ashore was curtailed when Simon got hit by a branch just above his eye. Lucinda and I went out on the kayaks and then read until drink time. Once again BBQ at anchor in a wonderful location.
