| Entrance to the Lady Musgrave lagoon |
The stay at Lady Musgrave was one of the highlights of the trip. The island is the second last island in the Great Barrier Reef, Lady Elliot is the last island and is just north of Fraser Island.
Lady Musgrave's lagoon is a great anchorage in moderate conditions not rolly and one faces into the prevailing wind, but if the weather turned nasty it would be an ugly place to be.
The water in the lagoon is crystal clear with plenty of sea and bird life.

The snorkeling and diving is fantastic in the lagoon

| Black Tipped reef shark |
In the shallows of the lagoon we saw a school of black tipped reef sharks, while they may look impressive they were only 30cm long
We woke up on Friday morning and there was a North Easterly starting to blow. Finally the wind is blowing from the right direction !! So with much regret we decided to weigh anchor and depart, we could have stayed for another week but North Easterly winds seem to be a rare phenomenon this trip.
