Return to Airlie Beach

Departed mid morning and travelled south past Cid Island and into Whitsunday passage but becalmed ; no wind, not a breath, flat calm, glassy sea; could water ski anywhere.  A copy of the DVD ‘becalmed’ would now be good.  However our reliable diesel helped make the distance around the south end of Sth Molle island, and picked up a mooring at Lovers Cove on the NW side of Daydream Island.  Time spent snorkeling on the reef there, and hand feeding several of the large reef fish, 2-3 feet in length, and clustering around the stern looking for handouts.  A great afternoon of R&R before casting off and sailing around the point and picking up the rented mooring in Airlie Beach just before another magnificent sunset.
