It's Monday morning (9am) and we are rolling south back toward the Whitsunday Islands. We'll stop there for a few days and then push on.
By late this afternoon, we'll have covered 300 of the 850 nm between Cairns and Brisbane. A couple days ago, we had a perfect cruising day with light wind, smooth seas, and whales. Yesterday was pretty much a bash, covering the boat with salt as the spray blew over us and the sun baked the salt on. Oso is humming along but will need a bath after this leg!
Today has started out good (since 5 am!) and the forecast is OK for the rest of the day. The wind and seas tend to be a bit lighter in the early morning, so we try to get underway after the first cup of coffee.
We still don't have any update on our shipping schedule, but we'll keep pressing for Brisbane and take what comes.
