309nm in 6 Days: Cairns to Whitsundays - The Long Trek South Pt1 (Ep.44) | Sailing ARGO

In this video, we’ve begun the long trek south from Cairns back to Brisbane – we will do over 780 nautical miles all up (depending on how many detours we take!). It took us 185 days to meander our way north, but with only 25 days to get south of Gladstone for insurance, we’re now doing some big sailing days to make it happen. Part 1 of the journey covers Cairns to Cape Gloucester – 309nm in just six days! We’re tired but it was worth every mile to have squeezed in a few more days exploring the Great Barrier Reef. The Queensland coastline is huge, and this leg included Kym’s second-ever night sail… which we accidentally did in total darkness after miscalculating the moonrise! But we made it, safe and salty, ready to gear up for Part 2 as we continue the push south toward Gladstone. In this video we also reference our log book - if you're interested in seeing more on this, check out this video: https://youtu.be/dXTq3IqAdOA Thanks for watching.
