Thursday 16th July

After spending a few days of exploring Thomas Island and spending time on
Naked Lady Beach, sorry no photos (been censored by Sue).

The tranquility was interrupted last night by two Porpoises splashing around
in the bay.

This morning we hauled anchor and sailed to Arlie Beach. While we were
ashore checking out the town we posted a notice in 4 of the backpacker
hostels, asking if anyone wants to crew for us as we will be sailing around
here for a couple of months. There are a few tourists here (not nearly the
amount they would normally have). Airlie Beach has a man-made lagoon (like
the one in Cairns and the one in Brisbane) - we didn't see too many
sunbathers today - despite the weather being nice and sunny, there was a
chill in the wind.
