After reprovisioning, we decided to escape the crowds for a few days and headed for one of our favourite spots Bona Bay on Gloucester Island and amazingly, met new and old friends for sunset drinks on the beach. We did do some sailing (and attempted fishing) but then ended up at another favourite island, Armit, for yet more drinks at sunset. Why wouldn't you all go cruising?
After Armit Island we sailed back to another favourite spot, Cid Harbour (not really a harbour) where we found a 150 foot yacht in our spot, dwarfing us and all our friends. However, the other thing that happened on the way to Cid, was that we came down with a very horrible flu which we must have picked up with the shopping in Airlie Beach. So, once anchored safely in Cid, we proceeded to ward off visitors while in self-imposed quarantine and did very little for 7 days. When the signs of improved health dawned, we headed off for a walk to our favourite fishing hole (Dugong Beach) and baked our first loaf of bread aboard Erica.
