One hour before we arrived, the wind went from zero to 25 out of the ESE. We are snuggly anchored behind Morris Island with a 200 foot Tug boat behind us. We may go ashore for a quick visit to this very small sand island with one palm tree and a \”divers grave\” from a peal diver buried here long ago (per the guide book). Nice sandy beach….

So, we pressed on further for an 84 mile day run to Flinders Island. Named after Mathew Flinders who was the first to circumnavigate Australia and did most of the original surveys. He followed in the footsteps of Captain Cook about 1800. We picked up a day on the schedule and will head to Morris Island tomorrow, approximately 60 ish miles. KIT, Scott and Nikki P.S. We have NO internet here so use our boat email that I gave you if you wish to write either of us….. This email is being sent via iridium satellite telephone over the sailmail system.
