We’ve had some mysterious things happen to us at Shaw Island, a mountainous island off the East Coast of Australia. We are under attack and we’re on the hunt for the Jurassic culprit. It’s been really windy and we have been bunkered down, so when the wind looked like it had eased just a fraction we decided to put up the sails to go restock our pantries and water supply. Once we got away from the protection of the island we realised that it was still very windy. We had a cracker of a sail downwind towards Airlie Beach. Approaching Hamilton Island we experience the worst confused seas yet with swell coming from multiple directions and wind against current, Nakama was in a huge washing machine. We glided down the Molle Channel at 8 knots and to top it all off, close-hauled up towards Airlie, we can’t believe we finally made it here. Soph has a friend in Airlie Beach and she has let us use her car to do washing, shopping and even have a shower! After we refuel and top the water tanks, we are back out to the Whitsunday Islands which we can only imagine as a tropical Canada. Oh we also lose our drone, R.I.P.
