Living the dream: Stew and Survivor (Maggie - Airlie)
Writing this one heading south (It’s Eastish really, but you get the idea) going down from Magnetic island after spending three lovely weeks in now one of our favourite places. Lazy days were the norm, an occasional bush walk or kayak to break up the days. Caught up with Bev and Bob (formerly of Ikarus first met in the Cook Islands), who now live in Townsville. Nice to see them, and enjoyed lunch out at the local brewery where Chez and I indulged in a wooden paddle filled with 6 rather good beers. Other than a couple of relocations to get closer to shore, our only other big boat trip whilst there was to visit Balding Bay on the day of our Coral Anniversary. Lovely spot, with the large outsize rocks defining the beautiful bay nicely. Dined on barely mediocre ‘Mexican’ fajitas and margaritas that night (or a Long Island iced tea in my case). Our other ventures out for food (not cooked onboard) while we were there was to twice visit the pretty good fish and chips purchased as the sun set....
