With the conditions improving and the forecast for light winds we made the decision to head up the outside (eastern side) of Hinchinbrook Island to Zoe Bay which was reputed to be one of the nicest bays on the east cost.
Weather was good enough for a sail up in company
It certainly did not disappoint. At the southern end of the beach is a path that takes you through the bush to a series of rock pools fed by an all year round waterfall.
Whilst Zoe Bay is a lovely place it is certainly not suitable for an overnight anchorage with the bay completely open to the swell. We headed to Cape Richards at the northern end of Hinchinbrook Island.
Went ashore to explore the remnants of the Cape Richards resort which was damaged by cyclone and then mysteriously caught fire.
It certainly would have been a great location, this is the view from the resort's beach
And of course the post ends with ABS
