Going North!

Dear all,

Following our great snorkelling expedition on Sunday we left Port Douglas
for an overnight passage to Lizard Island, once again the wind was much more
than predicted and with the rain, it made for a rotten night. The channel
was narrow and there were plenty of ships to contend with. We arrived at
Lizard Island mid morning and the rain did not stop. Putting a real dampener
on everything.

After a lazy day and lovely roast beef meal we had an early night. The next
day we were all up early for a long day sail to King Island, which on the
end of it features Atkinson Reef. This was a lovely anchorage. We have now
headed off up towards Cape York (although it will be a few days and a couple
more anchorages before we get there), and have pleasant winds from behind
and sunny conditions. It is the first time we have had full main since
inside the reef in Fiji!!

Our noon position was 13 37S, 144 04E

I hope everybody at home is well,
Love,
Ocean Lady
