If you look on the satellite view of the Wessel Island on the Position Reports, you see that I'm at the tip of a long string of islands. They are low and have light scrub on them and the shoreline is 80% beach. It is very beautiful in a harsh barren way. There is no development here and probably one of the most remote spots in Australia. There are no other boats here and apart from the Coast Watch airplane each day, I am on my own.
The next two days will be spent resting up and doing a few jobs and then the next leg 320 miles across the the Gulf of Carpentaria to Cape York, but as the wind is blowing straight at me I expect this to be a bit of slog and take a while.

I saw you had emailed, I logged off and then on again and it was gone before I got a chance to read it!
Could you please send it again?
Thanks

Hi Colin,
You might get this message twice? I tried several times.
It took me a while reading all the news �
And it is amazing reading that you still come across places which turn out to be special "as anywhere you ( including Liz & the children ) �ve been before" �. Wonderful!
Seeing the satellite view and your position brings you so much closer and this way it is easier for Liz, Anna and Courtney.
Well, the autumn starts over here and I miss a beautiful beach (or any surroundings in which you are :)
so this messages goes to you right on board and I hope this finds you happy and well!
best wishes for your journey.
love
Sabine
