Airlie Beach (October 2015)

At Airlie Beach we park at Seabreeze Caravan Park, it’s the closest spot to town, and has a fantastic pool. Jolmer is doing snorkelling skills with the kids, including jumping in the water with no equipment on, and surfacing with fins, a cleared mask and snorkel in mouth. They manage! I am impressed. They practice buddy breathing with one snorkel and rescue swimming. Tim drags Jolmer successfully through the 25m pool on his back, with flippers, but still, that is not a small feat for a 6 year old.
Airlie Beach is a nice spot along Queensland’s coast, you can see the islands in the distance, there is plenty of tourism induced shops, bars and restaurants and the marina is small but significant. Glorious graceful ships are docked, waiting to be taken out to sea. We get all shopping out of the way and stuff stored at the marina headquarters. I also get my good camera cleaned and upgraded with a polaroid filter. I plan to make a lot of great photos.
On Friday, we get to have a quick look at our boat The Stardust. Jolmer has to go to Cairns for the weekend doing exam work for ACRRM, and will return on Sunday evening. 
We, the rest of the crew will get on board on Sunday afternoon and settle in. We will then be briefed on Monday morning.
