Leaving Airlie Beach with 3 crew

Just left Airlie Beach this morning with Michael, Birta and Denise, all young Germans. The two girls want to go to the Gold Coast and Michael is aiming for Sydney.

The first hours have been OK with an easterly wind allowing us to sail our course. I am hoping that they work out OK and we can go straight through to Surfers Paradise. The forecast is very promising.

So far so good. It's a lovely day to sail out through the Whitsunday Islands.
