Pastime at Digby Island

Log reads 4,850NM.

Over the past three days, we have sailed through the Whitsundays to a beautiful, but stark, island South East of Mackay. We have learned that at this time of full moon, we need to get up at 04:45AM and get going quickly so that we can have the strong tidal currents flowing with us most of the time.

Not much to report other than beautiful days, fantastic sunrises and sunsets, giant sea turtles and beautiful scenery. Finally, we have a few days of Easterly winds so we are making the most of them. Perhaps we should just sail overnight to really get some miles in before a strong Southerly change hits on Tuesday.

We'll think about it over a glass or two of chilled white wine and barbecued Mackeral.
