Position 19:22.206S 154:10.70E

Sun, calmer seas, nice food and a long shower – I had a good day !

What little wind we have now is ‘on the nose’ so we are motor sailing and we are 200 miles from our next waypoint at the start of the Hydrographer’s Passage which takes us through the Great Barrier reef.

The passage is 120 miles long and changes direction frequently to take us between all the reefs, it is a mile wide at the entrance but then opens up more as we go through, once we have completed this part of the trip it is then just another 40 miles to Mackay marina.
