Start Loc: Sawmill Bay, Cid Harbour (20o 15.90'S, 148o 56.49'E)
Narrative: We raised the anchor at 8:46am and motored out of Cid Harbour. The winds were strong SE, but flukey down the the west side of Whitsunday Island, and then we were into wind as we approached Hamilton Island. We motored most of the way with Heather on the helm and me relaxing with my book. It was an uneventful trip and we motored into Hamilton Island Marina not long after 10:00am. We were secured at the fuel wharf and started refuelling by 10:15am.
Refuelled: 38.89L @ 180.0c/L = $70.00
Economy since 09 Dec: 38.89L for 16 hr 10 min = 2.41L/hr
Economy overall: 521.56L for 267 hr 22 min = 1.95L/hr
After sorting out some confusion over our berth allocation (there was a boat in the berth we were told to use), we motored across to our berth and were secure by 10:55am. After lunch we headed across to the resort area and went for a swim. On the way back to the boat we grabbed some milk, bread and a few other items, and then spent a couple more hours relaxing before going out for dinner.
