Todays mission was to visit Hamilton Island to charge Bob's batteries, stock up on some tucker & camp at nearby Henning Island, for an early morning raid on Hamilton to collect the charged batteries enroute to Whitehaven Beach the next day.
We started today with our usual pre-dawn rise, at Coconut Bay on Lindeman Island.
The weather forecast was 5-10 kt...fantastic for our scenic tour to the spectacular Pentecost Island, the only island up here named by Capt. Cook.
Then to Hamilton Is. Harbour via the east & north side. Robin finally consented to trying 'a wooden stick' (Inuit) paddle .... despite daily ridicule of them. There is now a rumour that Robin wishes to own one !!!
The first impression of Hamilton Is. is of wealth; primarily it's buildings & boats. We enjoyed showers (thanks Terry), put on some washing, raided the bakery, the takeaway & the supermarket.
After dragging ourselves away we landed on Henning Is. for another beautiful sunset. What a day!!
