Cape York - Thursday Island

A nice deep sleep at anchor last night. I arrived at the anchorage off Horn Island, opposite Thursday Island. The last two had some difficult weather with very strong easterly or south-easterly winds. It was very pleasant to see the islands emerge on the horizon and feel the sea flatten as I ran in between the islands.

I was dismayed to find my mobile phone doesn't work here. Telstra? With a money matter to deal with I caught the ferry across to Thursday I to find virtually everything closed due to a show holiday. So no Internet access. I found a payphone and with help from my brother Ross fixed up what I needed to do.

I need to get fuel here and hopefully can do that on Monday.
