2 November 2005, Ashore

Sad but true. We have moved into a 6th floor apartment overlooking illywhacker at her berth in Breakwater marina. From here we can watch lucky cruising yachts heading north or south until they disappear into the distance some 30nm away. We are hoping the move will be a temporary one for although this an expensive rental, it offers a high degree of comfort for Lyndall's recovery and we hope to be back aboard by March when the heat of Summer has passed. We are happy to have completed a cruise this year - please see the "Barrier Reef Cruise" story for some photos of the yachting paradise right at our door.
