Leave Roslyn Bay, We will be loosing the internet again in a few hours and then will be out of range for another 48 hours before picking up reception again off Fraser Island. Tomorrow night will be spent at anchor as its been a bit tiring hand steering till now and will be worth giving the crew a break. Next update probably on Tuesday Night
