16 September
Long Island to Airlie Beach
We started the day with a 3km walk around the
northern end of the island. In spite of
all the signs on the beach warning us against trespassing on the resort
grounds, the end of the walk brought us straight back through its
buildings. We didn’t feel at all bad about looking around.

| The resort's old jetty, damaged and torn loose by Debbie - now just scrap metal? |

| Amazing to continue to see abandoned infrastructure |

| The resort is actually quite attractive |
The final stretch back to Airlie was a downwind
motor sail. I know the end of a holiday
is filled with lots of mixed feelings.
However the final sight of the Whitsunday Passage as we made the turn
inside Pioneer Rock was so perfect today I’m happy that Mike and Susan have had
the very best send off I could have given them.
We’ve covered 85 miles over the last week. The Whitsundays have had their best face on
for almost the entire time. I’ve enjoyed
the week cruising back in the islands and am so happy I could have Mike and
Susan here enjoying it with me.
