Middle Percy Island

Motoring on a windless morning through the Hay Point anchorages enroute to Middle Percy Island
Next destination, Middle Percy Island and home of the Percy Island Yacht Club.

It's a must stop for every cruising yacht  in Queensland waters. The names on the plaques displayed at the Percy Hilton, atWest Bay record the history and creativness of generations of passing yachts and their crews.


Proof positive 6.1kts in bugger all breeze






We had a good sail once the afternoon zephyr kicked in- even managing to get up that M(ighty) P(retty) S(ail), as one of Jo's friends refers to it .
The MPS  had to go up, as the friends I met in Cairns, Bill and Frances, tsked tsked my theory that the wind would swing enough to get it out and flying! Hence the photo opportunity- not to mention the 6kts it produced  in bugger all breeze!

Yes that is Percy Island off the port bow




















PIYC  'totem'

The Percy Hilton- early morning


I will have to return and find a space for K'Gari to exist at the Percy Hilton amongst all the others.
