Monday 19th November

We had brief sightings of a dugong (possibly), a turtle and a stingray. We had to wait until half tide to leave Gulnare and we crept out at 11am and headed east along the bottom end of Whitsunday Island. We anchored in Chance Bay, a total of 11.9nm. On the way in we rescued a big soggy cushion that had floated free from a boat that had ran aground and sunk with just the tip of the bow showing. It was Lucinda's music choice in the evening and we finally opened the baked beans we had been husbanding all trip.
