Had a good sail today - wind dead aft but we poled out the genoa after running the engine to top up water and batteries. We left Island Head Creek at 0915 and arrived here at 1300. In the meantime the wind has got up quite a bit but we are sheltered in the bay. We're staying here tonight and then on to the Percy's tomorrow. Had a mission getting the anchor up this morning - it was wrapped up in the chain. Its a wonder it held at all; probably caused by the shifting tidal currents during the night with the boat veering around all night. We don't have internet or cellphone coverage here so this is our only means of communication probably for the next 4-5 days.
At Island Head Creek we were very close to the Australian Defence Force training and live firing area in Broad Sound and Shoalwater Sound and there was some sort of exercise announced but we were disappointed not to be buzzed by an F18!!! Never mind, there's enough excitement just sailing up this coast. Anyway we are pleased to be away fro the muddy creeks with there tricky entrances.
