We left Magnetic Island at 5.30am for a longish days sail to Cape Upstart. There is a bit of breeze early, so the mainsails were up soon after leaving the marina, and the wind varied all day.
There was a combination of sailing and motor sailing and we should hasve put the code zero up once we passed Cape Bowling Green, but the angle was too tight. Imagine, has one with a slightly different cut which they managed to hold all of the way to Cape Upstart. Maybe, had we set ours it would also have been OK.
We saw lots of whales, particularly around Cape Bowling Green, and a lonely catamaran anchored behind Cape Bowling Green.
It was a pretty relaxing trip which took us a little over 11 hours.
The crew were pretty relaxed.
