Coastal Waters Of Great Barrier Reef to False Cape, Australia

OCEAN
Dolphin 460
Easy sail most of the way. Wind built on final approach to Cairns. We had sustained wind at 28k with gusts to 36. Glad we had double reefed at the start of this leg! We had about 45 minutes of 8-10 knots steady, surfing up into the teens. Max boat speed recorded on our log was 15.3 on a deep reach. Fortunately the waves were following and relatively light @ 1.5-2m but coming every 6 seconds.
