    WINYALKAN BAY. Stunning group of 🏝 with great 🎣 & ⛱️. It is freaking hot 🥵 @ the moment (record heatwave) so beach swimming is 😊 (with 👁 out for🐊) Its too hot to be on boat by 9am so off early to explore. We follow Visitor Pass directions to find 4 men in a canoe painting... awesome painting but the find a fluke as it is way smaller than we look for. Our explore also took us to beautiful ( & cool) billabongs, caves & rock shades. We discovered rock tidal pools on Unnamed Island (yep that's its name) where I snagged a Cod before heat got too much & I return to swimming 😀.
    MURRANGINGI ISLAND. Offered great ⚓️ in channel & big clear water beaches for more swimming...still too hot to be on boat. Ted 👀 monster size mullet cruising shallows so raced back to boat to get throw net...success = mullet for tea.
    CAPE VOLTAIRE. We sail with tide up & around Cape to ⚓️ Barricooda Bay, arriving @ dusk. Total chaos....Ted landing our 1st KI Mackerel as we navigate in with minimal light & sails still up 🥴
    Lots of fish to eat/share now which we are super greatful for. After 6 weeks the fridge has a definite echo to it & fresh food down to a few 🥔, 2 🎃, 3 🥕, 2 🥑 & 6 🥚. 😆
