Scawfell Island to The Percy Islands


An early start again for the long sail to The Percy Islands, accompanying Colin and Cheryl on “Decka”. 


It turned into mostly motor-sailing, despite much tweaking and trimming of the main and screecher.  As we rounded the last rocks and prepared to drop sails Peter hooked up a good sized mackerel.  Just made the anchorage in White’s Bay before dark and Cheryl invited us for roast chicken dinner, which was gratefully appreciated. 





Middle Percy is an island to rival any of the Whitsundays.  With white sandy beaches to rival Whitehaven and cliffs of coloured sands to rival Rainbow beach, the only downside is feral goats, which are playing havoc with the vegetation.  Yachties have been busy on the beaches collecting loads of plastics and piling them above the high tide mark.  We added a few more bits as we strolled along the sand.
