We did it!!! When we were coming north, we tried to get into Fitzroy reef, but Zen said no just as we were approaching the channel (I.e. hydraulic steering blew up, depth sounder went faulty, throttle cable snapped etc. - just boat life things!). This time, coming south, we made it! Keen for some diving and to listen to some whale song out on the reef! Winds northerlies, changing to westerlies 10-20 knots. Seas below 1m. Rainy with minimal moon.
