Ep 243 | Waiting for Wind at Dunk Island, Sailing Nutshell, Australia
November 26, 2021 by Life in a Nutshell | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:21 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
With no engine we are slaves to the wind, or lack of it! We end up waiting at Dunk Island for quite a while until the wind finally picks up… a little.
We check out the island and do the walk to the lookout, which is well worth it. We are surrounded by war history.
Finally we get a few knots of wind and hoist the spinnaker and continue the hobble north to Cairns. We manage to make it to Kent Island and we take a look around.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time…
Wendy and Magnus
