    Nikki and I have been on the look out for a crocodile sighting. WE NOW HAVE ONE! And it\’s only 200 feet from the boat on the river bank with it\’s mouth wide open (temperature control) and staring at us!…..We\’ll close up tonight!.. Nice sail, exciting entry over the river bar at the southern end of the island (Port Lucinda). We touched the mud on the way in. Nothing damaged but my pride… Gayundah creek is a mangrove. Remote and very picturesque. I feel like we\’re in the midst of the mangrove jungle with a beautiful mountain on Hinchinbrook to our east. KIT, Scott and Nikki

    Well!…I initially went up the Ross River instead of Ross Creek. Cost us a bit of time and an interesting side trip was had in all of 4.9 to 7 feet of water! Yikes! Tide was rising from absolute low and it\’s 12 feet (4 meters here today). So more water was a good thing. We had a tricky unassisted docking in the river current and Nikki handled the lines perfectly! Be here in Townsville and environs for a few days. Cheers, Scott and Nikki

    It\’s 60 degrees F/ 15 degrees C, raining, cold. We had our longest days run, 72 miles. Hot shower, dinner out!… Nikki doing well now that she\’s discovered phenergan for a bit of mal de mar. This town is very industrial, not at all like we thought it would be. It feels like Southern California in the winter or the Northsea on a blustery day! Next stop, Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays (after a few days rest!)…
