Mackay Harbour to Coastal Waters Of Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Kai Ea
Van de Stadt Madeira 44
A nice little break from sea, top up victuals, catch up on laundry, Koji and Jack to Finch Hatton Showgrounds dog show run by Mackay Kennel, Koji did well and is now an Australian Champion. A pizza and a refreshing adult beverage to celebrate whilst kickin back after a busy successful day. Light ENE 6 to 8kts greeted us at 0730 departure from marina berth #X28 $84 p/n Single reef in the mainsail with gennaker as a starting point for continuing south down the coast. Had a great few hours sailing, almost touched 8kts boat speed with 12kts apparent, sailing fun until the wind started to drop, once wind drops to 6 to 7 kts KaiEa struggles to make good speed, excess weight due to the fact we have our lives (stuff) onboard. Dropped anchor in Indian Head creek after a relaxed slow and comfortable 118nm
