Made good progress yesterday. Poor mobile reception along Fraser Island until Gladstone this morning, so I wasn’t able to post an update.
We were able to motor-sail most of the way. One to two metre seas and 15 knot breeze from behind helped to counter an adverse current of up to one knot. During the night the wind increased to 20 to 25 knots and we were able to reach at up to 10 knots boat speed. It was an awesome experience flying over a black sea with only stars in the sky above!
We had some dolphins playing around the boat and also saw flying fish. No doubt the flying fish didn’t think the dolphins were playing.
It’s gradually getting warmer as we make our way north. Kylie and Catherine took the opportunity to dip their toes in the water.
This morning we had another beautiful sunrise. The photo below from Carpe Diem shows Débonnaire in the distance.
