Berthed at Coral Sea Marina. Thank you Dinah, Phil and of course to our ever watching shore crewmember Suzie, well done all.

20 35 S, 149 13 E, About 8 Nm SE of Shaw Island. Getting close now around 40 Nm to Airlie which gives us an ETA of approximately 9 pm at the Coral Sea Marina. Hopefully Sorrentos isn’t closed by then! Will update on arrival and hopefully put those promised photo’s up tomorrow. All fine on board.

21 55 S, 150 57 E, Currently 15 Nm East of Pine Peak Island. Still motoring along in the light winds which are only going to drop away further. Its pleasant but noticeably hotter below deck as we feel the tropical affects of our northern position. All is good, will try to post a few pics (mainly sunrise / sunsets) which have been stunning with the current weather. These may appear in an odd order at first until I re-arrange them after posting.

23 45 S, 152 38 E, Around 14 Nm NE of Lady Musgrave Island. Still light SE- E winds as forecast pretty much for the whole journey so continuing on under low revs down the rhumb line. Well rested and enjoying a bit of cloud cover today however the temperature is gradually increasing with our journey. All is well with another update tomorrow.

26 03 S, 153 30 E, Currently 19 Nm East of Double Island Point, we have been motor-sailing in light SE to E winds which is expected to be very similar for the next few days. Motoring at conservative Rpm’s so should not be a problem if we don’t get sufficient winds to rest the motor. Lovely sunrise with mostly sunny conditions the forecast to continue. All is well on board.

Just left the Seaway at 0600 Hrs on the High tide and relatively calm seas. Airlie beach here we come. Update again at least daily.

Sorry for the false start, after reviewing the forecasts and the dangerous sea warning we have decided to delay leaving until the early morning tomorrow when the Bar should be much calmer.
