No movement

So here we are, in picture perfect weather of 22-24 degrees, with lovely warm sunshine and clear skies.  We didn’t move yet, still enjoying the location, the R&R and all the lovely surroundings.  On Saturday, did the walk to Dugong Inlet, a pleasant, non-taxing plod through a rainforest to a delightful beach around at the next inlet.  Today I attacked what is listed as a ‘difficult’ walk, up to the Whitsunday peak, some 450M of elevation.  It was a steep, and somewhat taxing walk, partly following a rocky creek, but hardly what I might call difficult, and the view from the islands peak was stunning, wonderful, could see forever in every direction and hence dallied there for hour or so.  Took a dip in a freshwater rock pool on the way down to cool off and remove the sweat, then completed some minor repairs on the freshwater system back on board.  A great day, mixing exercise with everything else, and completed by entertaining visitors from a nearby yacht in the anchorage during the afternoon; how fortunate I had just made some fresh muffins, but perhaps they smelled them from downwind..!    Brilliant sunset tonight.
Images are from Dugong Inlet, and at the peak of the island.
