Departure Day

Today was Departure Day.  After a late night and very early morning, we miraculously managed to depart.  A minor drama occured when Ian discovered our very full water tank had emptied itself into the bilge.  Not finding any leaks in the tank we almost thought we would have to dismantle the boat to find the problem.  It turned out we had been over-enthusiastic and overfilled the tank which caused the breather valve to syphon out our precious water into the bilge.

Whew!!!!

A short trip for our first day.  From Half Moon Bay (Cairns) to Low Isles.

Took some photos, drank some wine, a light dinner. . . . .

We're on  our way.


 You don't actually have to get in the water to see what's in there.
