Lovely little sail from Fitzroy Reef to Bustard Bay today. Saw a pod of dolphins on our way into Bustard Bay! It looks like all the whales are enjoying some warmer waters, as we didn’t spot any today. Great to have a break from the trade winds! Winds 10-20 knots NW. Seas starting 2m (coming out of the reef) ending in 0.5m. Wasn’t having much luck with the anchor dragging this afternoon, so it looks we’ll be sleeping with one eye open tonight… Photos mostly from Fitzroy Reef glass out day yesterday!
