We are at last at anchor in a calm inlet, Island Head Creek. An overnighter last night has brought us to within 140 miles of the Whitsundays. This time quite pleasant conditions - G has nearly finished 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', and I'm well into 'The Girl who Played with Fire'. It has been gray and overcast though, and we anchored here in torrential rain. The entrance was bit hairy with various invisible shoals, rocks that we had to pass close to, and landmarks to look out for that were shrouded in mist. In the end it was trouble free thank goodness. Were very lucky to have that one lovely blue sunny day at Lady Musgrove. Caught a 6lb tuna (not quite identified) en route, rather red flesh, but made some good fish cakes today. Fun hauling it in.
Position 22 22.019, 150 38.366. We are well into the Tropic of Capricorn.
