High and dry in Tin Can Bay

Pat was lucky enough to be offered use of an old style holiday shack in Tin Can Bay. We drove there from the Dreaming Festival. The photo shows Little Dragon high and dry in the yard only metres away from the mangroves.

We spent 3 days resting up after the Dreaming Festival, checking out Tin Can Bay with a view to sailing at least up to the Wide Bay Bar in a couple of weeks (more of that later) and preparing for our bareboating jaunt in the Whitsundays (more of that later).

Pat and I really took to Tin Can Bay - probably because it was so reminiscent of our childhood at Leigh-on-Sea (nicknamed Leigh-on-Mud) on the Thames Estuary in England.

I couldn't resist snapping Pat waiting her turn to feed the dolphin.

This wonderful road sign is on the exit from the giant boat trailer park at Tin Can Bay. If only there had been such a sign at the Big River Sailing Club... (see earlier posts about my new mast!)
