Our plan was to head from Hook Island across to Airlie Beach. As you cannot "check in" to the marina until 12 o'clock we took the opportunity to sail from Marcona Inlet to Nara Inlet before sailing across to Airlie.
A southerly wind at 15-20 knots meant we had a great sail across to the mainland, doing around 7 knots with only the head sail out.
We are staying at the Coral Seas Marina (until this month it was the Airlie Beach Marina). They have spent a lot of money creating a really good marina with good facilities and lots of space. The only problem then is how far you have to walk.
Safely tied up at the marina in a 20m berth (which means heaps of spare space)
