Five boats and ten enthusiastic members of the Abell Point Yacht Club set sail last Friday for a weekend getaway to Cape Gloucester, braving some wind and swell along the way. While conditions kept skippers alert, spirits remained high as the fleet cruised north.
By late afternoon, the boats were safely anchored off Cape Gloucester Beach Resort. A blustery Friday night brought strong gusts and a couple of dragged anchors, but Saturday morning arrived calm and clear.
After coffee and cake at the resort, members enjoyed a relaxed day, before heading ashore in the evening to Montes Bar & Restaurant. There, they connected with fellow sailors from other ports, swapping stories over dinner in a warm, lively atmosphere.
On Sunday, the group sailed to beautiful Bona Bay, where they capped off the weekend with a beach BBQ—soaking in the sun, scenery and camaraderie that define the Whitsunday sailing lifestyle.
It was another successful APYC escape, full of great sailing, good company, and lasting memories.
