At sea!!

It seems bizarre to be writing this email at 1 in the morning as we lie hove to 11 miles south esat of Bustard Point which forms the entrance to Pancake Creek where we are going to anchor later this morning when we have some daylight. The wind has dropped to around 8 knots from the south and we are nearly stationary as we await the daylight. We can see the loom of the lights of Gladstone from here (30 miles away) and are keeping a vigil for commercial shipping as Gladstone is a very busy mining port. At the moment we have on AIS a vessel  (name of "Agros") 8.9 miles away from us and heading more or less in our direction. It;s only doing 4 knots which suggests it's a tug towing barges. Can't physically see it as yet. Dennis is asleep and yours truly is keeping watch.
More as we progress north.....................
