Variable winds from none to 20knots all day, dropped off of within a carpark of bulk carriers so to keep some heading got the spinnaker pole working properly this time, although I need to set it up better so it doesn't need to come down with the head sail as tricky getting it off the clew to furl it in 20knots, have since set up some guys to be able to set out the pole then furl in/out the sail without stowing the spinnaker pole til at anchor. Not a great anchorage but a quick rest stopover sheltered from the southerly which picked up again in arvo as didn't make the miles to hit Great Keppel, nice having options to stop along routes now into the coral coast and just flop about when wind drops and wait for it to pick up again rather than needing to start up motor to make harbour to harbour on tides etc.
