Reluctant to leave Whitehaven, but we must, in order to have our Canadian Crew on his way home to Calgary. A long sail today so anchor raised 0830 and out to battle the opposite current and wind in Solway Pass. Forward progress through there was slow, but it lasted only 1½ miles before turning the corner and having these behind us and then helping trather than hindering forward progress. Sailed on through Fitzalan pass, where behind Hamilton island there was little wind but making good speed. Came shooting out into Whitsunday passage, past South Molle Island, right past Daydream Island, before anchoring out in the bay at Airlie Beach. We are now down to two on board, but we chilled out during the warm afternoon and had a quiet time; dinner on-board of H’s own Corned beef (cooked on board), with spuds carrots etc all with mustard sauce. Pleased to have signal again so we can update, and this our view of Airlie Beach this evening.
Good to see the adventures continue - being down to two on board means the liquid supplies will last longer!
