Day 118: Townsville

Turn-around day. From now on we will be making our way home to Port Macquarie. The stay at Horseshoe Bay has done Kim's back a world of good so we should also be able to do a few more things on the return trip.

The last look at Horseshoe Bay for a while.
Upped anchor around 8 am to motor over to the Breakwater Marina in Townsville for fuel. Nice uneventful docking with Dave & Terry from Venture there to catch the lines. Topped off the diesel tanks and filled the spare cans - 130l all up. Also got petrol. Anchored in the pond and it was very rolly at first, so much so that we planned to leave at midnight if things didn't improve.

Chilling out on deck on the way to Townsville. Easy to do on a catamaran.

Went into town for a very good curry with Dave & Terry. Very pleasant evening. By the time we got back to Cat Play, the swell had settled down nicely. We set the alarm for 5.45 am and hit the sack.
