Fitzroy Island and Cairns

We are back in Cairns now for a few days. The weather/wind is looking very average for the next week or so, so we might stay in at Cairns till the wind drops a bit.

We spent quite a few days out at Fitzroy Island. We anchored near the resort and went ashore a few days for beer and lunch. Very beautiful resort and beach that's not too pretentious. It was quite rocky at night sleeping with the waves and wind curling around the point. But we are getting used to the bumpy nights, so we slept ok. We walked to the top of the mountain one day, great views. Kayaked another few days and did plenty of snorkeling- The reef surrounding Fitzroy Island is amazing!

Since we came back to Cairns we've spent more time cleaning and waxing the parts of the boat that didn't get done last week. She's looking very nice now.
