The Voyage of Spectacle » Hamilton Island http://spectacle-boat.com Documenting the Voyage of S/V Spectacle and Its 4-Year Circumnavigation Mon, 30 Aug 2010 04:41:18 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 Hamilton Island http://spectacle-boat.com/2010/08/12/hamilton-island/ http://spectacle-boat.com/2010/08/12/hamilton-island/#comments Fri, 13 Aug 2010 02:01:25 +0000 melissa http://spectacle-boat.com/?p=1538 At AUS$110 per night, the marina is prohibitively expensive so we plan to stay three nights only.  Unfortunately, we awoke to rain this morning.  At these prices, you’d think they could serve up some better weather.

Yesterday, we walked around the marina complex area and visited the yacht club.  Andy had a couple of business logistics to take care of so we set off to find an Internet café with a printer and some lunch.  The Reef View Hotel promised a serviceable business center, and Sails Restaurant provided a serviceable lunch.  Afterward, we visited the ice cream parlor and walked the docks looking for familiar boats to no avail.  We took an afternoon rest, cleaned up, went to the yacht club for a sundowner, and hit the Manta Ray Café for a pretty tasty pizza complete with possums sniffing our feet and begging for crusts.
