April 2010 - Island Head Ck - Middle Percy Island


Our next destination is also on the mainland – Island Head Creek for a few nights.  This area is within the Army’s Live Firing Range but there are no practices while we are there.  The official Notice to Mariners inform us of when they are Live Firing which isn’t until late April so we are safe this time.

Spectacular scenery in this area tree-covered hills come right down the water’s edge making landing the dinghy impossible but an excellent outlook for a few nights. 


From Island Head Creek we move to Middle Percy Island where we hang our obligatory sign.  To explain: for more than 50 years cruising yachts have been hanging their names on signs in a hut on the beach. Signs consist of anything you can get your hands on eg. bottles, bits of wood, old fenders, hats, life rings etc., etc.  We found half of a large turtle shell at Pearl Bay so ours is pretty unique.  It took us all morning to browse and find signs from 5 other boats we know.

We even had a visit from the caretaker who welcomed us to paradise.
