Thursday 29th May 2008 – Mackay to Shaw Island

Departed 0730, Strong Wind Warning SSE 20 – 25 knots
They are talking about a gale warning tomorrow so we have decided to head further north than originally planned as Ben is leaving Sunday from Hamilton Island. 2 reefs in the main but we still made good progress and arrived at Shaw Island about 1430. We have now officially reached the Whitsundays and we had a bottle of champagne (thanks to Suzanne and the ISAS Upgrade team) to celebrate. Warren promised to bake a chocolate cake but it didn’t appear. Print this post
