After a marvellous passage through the Hinchinbrook Channel we arrived at Dunk Island. The channel was very narrow and shallow in places and Camelot can confirm that it has a sand/mud bottom! The landscape on either side was spectacular with hills/mountains and jungle---no crocodiles spotted on the mangrove shore line! Outside the channel we had a splendid sail in 14 knots of beam wind in a flat sea to reach Dunk Island at dusk. Plenty of photographs to follow.
