I woke up early and watched the sunrise over the sea from the comfort of my bed, before going back to sleep for awhile. Then I had a leisurely coffee and breakfast with the weather looking surprisingly good. I.e. blue skies, no clouds, minimal wind and a calm sea. I lounged around camp for the morning waiting for the tide to drop down a bit. At one stage my mid-morning nap was rudely interrupted by a very large goanna attacking my rubbish bag. It didn't seem phased by me trying to shoo it away and only left after it had eaten all the bacon fat I had trimmed off my breakfast.
Then I headed off for a drive up to the lighthouse, along the way the Maxtrax people where doing some filming and they were doing that for most of the day.
I turned off at the Leisha Track and went for a drive over to the other side of Double Island point. There is a deep water crossing just passed the toilets, so I couldn't drive around to the point, instead I headed the other way toward Rainbow Beach. The tide was still a couple of hours from dead low but I was able to drive almost all the way, only getting stopped by the rocks and water at the bottom of Carlo Sandblow.
I turned around and headed back to the Lighthouse and had some lunch and lazed around for awhile.
I took the walk up to the lighthouse and the view was spectacular but the wind was getting stronger, so I couldn't send the drone up for a flight.
At the bottom of the lighthouse hill I chatted to some folks who had a camper built on the back of an Isuzu truck, it looked pretty nice but was big and heavy. Then back to camp, where someone had setup between me and the next camp along, they're not all that close but there is tons of other empty spots they could have gone. I waited for the wind to die down again before starting up the camp fire but it didn't so I had to improvise a wind break with a camping table on its side. Then dinner, campfire reading and bed.
