Lizard island

I am way way behind in the blog . Will do my best to catch up. Today it is 1 sep and we are enjoying our self at Cicada Lodge in Nimaluk national park before it is time to prepare for our next leg and also joining the world Arc 2024/2025. But let’s continue from arriving to Lizard island.

Around eight in the morning on the 15 of July we anchored in Watson bay at Lizzard island just before Mistral. First some breakfast and then some hours rest after the night sailing. You are a bit tired after night sailing since it is hard to sleep the first night even though it was a very calm sailing. After some rest the paddle boards go in and me and Karen paddle to the reef where we snorkel. So many nice clamps and some more colourful than the others and the size of them is wow. A lot of fishes as well.

The day after Edgar drove us in to land so we could hike up to the top. Hoping to see a lizard or two. We heard some noise and saw a lizards tail better than nothing. It was a very steep hike up to the top. First we thought we was there then we realised we are half way puha. We made it to the top and the view was magnificent and my body totally exhausted… good that it is easier to walk down although you have to focus where you put your feet so you don’t slip.

In the evening we went to the Marlin Bar that was only open for yachties on Tuesday and Fridays evening rest of the time it was only for the hotel guest. Sadly was Chris not feeling that good so he stayed in the boat. We enjoyed a nice burger and a lovely sunset. It doesn’t matter how many I see they still fascinate me.

Our next plan is to get Horn Island but we are not in a hurry yet and states one more night and just chill and relax and hope the Chris will feel better. We do a night stop next to Howick Island. And then of to Horn Island where we round Australia and will be sailing on the north coast to get to Darwin.
