Magnetic Island to Brampton Island

Wednesday, 31 October 2012 to Saturday, 3 November 2012

After 2 days at Horseshoe Bay waiting for a good breeze to head south and allowing our colds to run their course, we leave early on Wednesday morning for the 76nm sail to Cape Upstart. We sailed most of the day in perfect conditions for our genoa only needing to motor for a few hours at lunchtime when the breeze died.

Thursday was a repeat for the 54nm to Montes Resort - a bit quieter than the last time we were here for the Shaggers Rendezvous.

From here we had a pit stop at Airlie Beach to fill the water tanks and buy a few essentials before a brisk sail to Dugong Inlet to escape the northerly. The anchorage was much more picturesque than we expected and had plenty of room for the 20 yachts here.

Saturday we left the Whitsundays and sailed to Brampton Island for a few days as another SE change is expected.
