Gaviota's Web Diary - Cid Harbour, Whitsundays to Gloucester Island

Cid Harbour, Whitsundays to Gloucester Island

Winds started North West in the early morning then swung round to South West and finally filled in at South East so off we went on a speedy broad reach downwind, one reef in the mainsail and at last Syd had a smile on his face – Gaviota was sailing again.

A lovely fast sail got us past Airlee Beach and into the Gloucester Passage (new territory) and we navigated through the winding shallow channel past Gloucester Island finally anchoring off the Eco Resort in a lovely flat calm bay.
