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!)…

The wind was 5-10 knots from the east this morning and that lasted till 2 hours before arrival here at South Percy. Forecast was for 20-25 after frontal passage from the SW late tonight. At NOON, the wind changed and was a steady 35-42 knots! Gusts a few times just over 50 knots. We are at anchor on the South Side of Percy Island and hope the forecast for tomorrow, \”winds abating\” to 20-25 knots will be correct. If so, a great sail to Mackay will be had, if not….we sit right here till it goes away.
