Moonbeam at Sea

The sky was clear and the winds were favorable.   It would have been criminal to keep a yacht like Moonbeam tethered to the dock on a day like this.  We headed off for a sail to Fitzroy Island.  It isn't far to Fitzroy; just long enough to get the sails up and to feel the fresh sea wind on your face.  For all the times I have been a guest on SY Moonbeam, this is the first time sailing on her.  She is a lovely boat but I am a little partial because she is also an Island Packet.  

We arrived to Fitzroy, had lunch, did a little snorkeling and watched a beautiful sunset over the mainland.  Not so bad.
