The famous Lizard Island

Here we are having a good run with our spinnaker.


We had been told about the Customs flybys and here is our first, it was a frightening experience the first time as they flew very close to our boat to get our attention. We then speak to them via our radio and they ask us questions about our vessel and destination. Since our first flyby we've spoken to Customs at least 10 times at various locations.


Lizard we'd heard alot about this island as a destination for cruisers. Where the waters are soo beautifully azure blue.

A remote island that has a resort on it that costs a small fortune to stay at we walked its beaches, it was a lovely environment for a resort. Pitty it seemed very empty.

We climbed to the top of mountain peak what a walk it was hard yakka plus. We saw the lizard's of lizard island they're big prehistoric looking creatures. Slow and gentle.



We snorkelled along the reef beside our boat but the visibility was poor with all the wind.

The seagulls take refuge from the wind on our tender and always enjoy any food that comes their way. They were prepared to bob around as the tender bounced in the water.


Another lovely sunset.
