Island Head Creek

First night in Island Head Creek: Anchorage in one of the side creeks. 
Nowhere to go ashore, so we did a bit of mangrove fishing in the dinghy and (luckily) didn't land the catfish that were chasing Cameron's lure.

Our anchor alarm woke us at 4:30 and 5:30, as the SW picked up in intensity - so we got to enjoy the sunrise. 
Second night: Anchorage upstream was the only place where our phone-up-the-mast trick worked to give us some phone/internet access.
Third night: Shifted to the northern anchorage with access to the beach and rocks and fish of varying desirability.


We've decided that this is our turnaround point and we're heading back south. A glimpse of Pinetrees Point to the north as we departed Island Head Creek.
Island Head Creek, with Pearl Bay to the east.

    Aww, it makes me a bit sad to see you heading back south. Hopefully it will get a bit warmer now.

    Remember to keep heading south once you get to Brisbane. Another 380 NM or so.
