Moreton Island and the healing power of the dolphins
12.08.2007
We left Gold Coast and now both of us are sick with
flu.
Empede is making her way northbound being steered by an
autopilot, Gonzie is sleeping inside and I’m lying on the deck like a sack of
potatoes. I’m feeling better, but still very weak.
The water is very calm and almost mirror smooth with only
some small ripples. At least this is to our advantage and we don’t need to
bounce through the waves.
Dolphins appeared and started playing at the bow. They are
different from Port Stephens dolphins, a bit bigger and whiter, I thought.
I’m lying next to the port side and looking at them. Gonzie
also got out and was taking photos. Seems like the dolphins made us feel better,
I’ve heard of their healing powers before but didn’t know they can help to get
over the flu :).
We anchored near Moreton Island. This anchorage is not
mentioned in the book, but turned out to be ok since the weather was calm with
no waves.
