At Lion
Point the wind dropped, sun shone and it was the best ever kayaking on a glassy
sea. There were shovel-nosed
rays, turtles and lots of colourful reef fish, though the coral itself was
lacking in colour. A beautiful calm
anchorage and a full moon over the water, ahhhh!
Next
morning we noticed the anchorage up at the Whitsunday Cairn walk was free
again, so we sailed up to try for our fourth attempt at
the bushwalk. The track is quite challenging, with only a few
markers and mostly rock clambering through rainforest, with a few stinging
trees on the track just to keep it interesting.

Then just
as we started the climb, Toni’s right boot parted from it’s sole. Peter went back to get some rope and
tied it together to the boot, but after half an hour the left boot sole perished
too, so we had to turn back. Walking
downhill with no tread on the boots was even more scary and those boots were
only about 15 years old!

| A stitch in time... |
One day we will return
to conquer that walk!
