Title: Mackay

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

We arrived in Mackay just after midnight--currently moored on the quarantine dock awaiting various officials--and apparently they take their duties pretty seriously here!!

A mixed bag passage--a couple of tough days sailing, a couple of lovely sailing days--and ending with no wind for 2 days at the end--so under engine. But we got here!!

All is well

Report later
