Just brief update.  We are still here in Cairns.  I have been catching up with a couple of old friends, and trying to get an essay finished, due on Friday.  Next week I will be hauling Sylph out for an bottom clean and antifouling, and other maintenance as required - hopefully nothing serious.
I am working on plans for my next voyage, but more on this later when things firm up a bit.  In the meantime, here are a few more photos of the passage to Cairns.
 
 
Anchorage at Fitzroy Island, a little crowded for my taste:

Peter rowing ashore – a first for him:

Good progress (you gotta expect a crab or two on your first go):

Made it (I’m not sure who was more relieved, Peter or me):

Trinity Inlet, Cairns, where we are currently anchored:

More down to earth and friendly neighbours, Claire de Lune (Ken and Guo Hua):

All is well.
