Hi All,
Well finally, the southerly came through last night with the most amazing lightning display, torrential rainfall and 78kts of wind. These Southerly Busters are not to be taken lightly. I did catch myself letting go of the stainless-steel wheel every time the sky lit up around us! We have now spent the day running under spinnaker and what a pleasure after the last few days of upwind work. We are now around 300 nautical miles from Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays and have a section of quite tricky navigation to negotiate inside of the barrier reef before our arrival. I was inspired by Bobs blog yesterday and am finally not the one who cannot think of things to say. Bob, I must agree, we also sailed today and it was also hot.
