We'd travelled at such a hectic pace once we'd left Sandakan, knowing that we had thousands of miles to cover before arriving back in Australia before Xmas but we hadn't wanted to by-pass everything, so occasionally took time out for relaxation. I think we would've all gone crazy if we didn't have something to look forward to, especially with the long days that we were doing, so every now & then, when we discovered an isolated island with picturesque beaches, we'd drop anchor for a day or two, take the tender ashore to explore & spend some time together. The beach b-b-q's were a great way to relax & even though we quite often didn't have much food left on board, it was fun making do & sharing whatever we could manage to scrape together.
