We headed out from our mooring at 1645hrs today.
Hadn't gone very far when we came to a grinding halt when the skipper missed a
mark, cut a corner, and touched a bit of a coral bommie. Bit embarrassing
really. No real damage done, and off we went again. Now nearly 30nm out with 2
reefs in the and the headsail at about #3 size. doing mid 7's with 15-17kts of
wind from the south east. We are expecting fairly good wind ranging from
15-25kts from mostly SE and backing E as we get closer to Australia. At this
pace we will most likely be in Cairns next Monday or Tuesday.( Wednesday at the
latest)
