I spent a few days at Burning Point, Shaw Island while the strongest winds were around. I don't think it made 40kn, but not sure. Mostly around 20kn. I could look NW to the old Lindeman Island Club Med, but it was some distance away so not sure if there was any activity there. As it was a lee shore I was not inclined to go over for a closer look.
This morning I made the short trip up to Sawmill Bay in Cid Harbour. There are a couple of dozen boats here, with arrivals and departures happening quite a bit. Plenty of room for all. Its kinda 'charter boat central', but a lot of private vessels also.
On the way I went past Pentecost Island, shown in pic. There are 74 islands in the Whitsunday region, but this is apparently the only one that Captain James Cook named during his voyage in 1770. Its an imposing little island, rising to 289m, but not sure why Cook was so enamoured with it.
