A quick sail from Airlie to Cairns with a few days at Maggie Island and John Brewer Reef and Fitzroy 🤗

We are being fancy and staying at a marina for a little while since it’s still cyclone season & James has to fly out to work. Chose the most luxurious marina for the occasion! Such a treat to have gym, pool & office space all included! And cafes nearby. Excited to call Airlie Beach home for the next little while ☺️

Left Percy Island and had a night at Scawfell before making our way up to the Whitsundays. Finally some upwind sailing which was a first for us!

Big 17hr day, had the engine cut out a few times 😅 but just arrived at Percy Island, anchored at a new anchorage there in the dark (why are we always anchoring in the dark!) and excited to stay here for a day or so.

After splashing in Bundaberg, we sailed and motored all day and all night to get north out of Alfreds potential path. We have made it to Great Keppel Island and will chill out around here for the next few days!

We’re back! And straight into a refit. Today we started sanding the sides and needle gunning and rust spots.

The winds have been stronger at night, and after a spontaneous decision to leave Scawfell in the afternoon, we had a good sail averaging 5.4knots. We arrived and dropped anchor at Percy Island at 3am. It’s always fun arriving at an anchorage in the dark 😅 always feel so rude with the spotlight on everyone’s boats. The anchorage is rolly but we woke to the sunrise this morning and are glad we have the whole day here to enjoy!
