| just a few crew to keep it running! |
We changed our position an hour later when we glanced over the side of Manatee and saw a bommie. Our depth sounder showed .4 under our keel....oops. Lots of reef here.
Driftwood Bay used to be a very popular anchorage, but with the increase in air traffic to the island it is no longer considered "peaceful" as it is late finals with a northerly. But....AK loves sitting on deck watching aircraft!
We all had a fabulous time here, lots of swimming and walking for us all. The reef in the bay was pretty good although freaky when visibility was minimal as the reef sharks appeared out of nowhere.

Beautiful Driftwood Bay  |
The beach was fantastic and only visited by yachts in the anchorage or the visitor prepared to walk from the "resort side" of Hamilton. We intended to check out the resort but we were having too good a time. TAFE then contacted AK to inform that her clinical placement was in limbo and Cairns was no longer an option, so up anchor to head into good mobile reception to deal with bureaucracy!

| Race colour Marg helmed while AK stood on the back deck trying to find mobile range as the colour of the races materialised. Anni, noticed on your blog you where up for race week, would have loved to have caught up with you. Next time! |
