It was definitely blowin in Bowen last Thursday. Port Denison was great in the S'ly breeze. pic is here

.
Can't recommend anything in the way of restaurants as I did the BYO thing to ensure I had time to hit the water. Coconet should be sic!
Other notes from my trip:
Conway Bch - OK, just don't hang around long in the river as that is where the crocs live! Good spot for Wello locals who need a fix of kava (couldn't see the bottom even when it was only 1 inch deep).
East Pt Mackay - Nice spot & cool crew. Next time there I think I'll go for a downwinder.
