Beautiful Lady Musgrave Turns Wild - 39kn Storm in the Lagoon! (Ep.47) | Sailing ARGO

On our journey back south, we finally made it out to Lady Musgrave Island after trying a few times along our journey but never finding the right weather window. This time the forecast looked perfect, so we joined about 20 other boats heading into the lagoon, where the water is turquoise, crystal clear, and full of turtles. Despite all the chatter about how tricky the entrance can be, we found it one of the easiest reef entries we’ve done – short, clear, well-marked, and with plenty of moorings. It’s an amazing spot if you get the chance to come out. But then things got intense. Late at night we answered a VHF call for a welfare check on another boat – in the dark, at low tide, inside the reef. And just when we thought we could relax, a storm rolled through with lightning and unexpected 39kn winds. Two boats dragged anchor and it turned into one anxious night for everyone inside the lagoon. Thankfully, everyone was safe, and we made a quick exit the next morning to the shelter of the Burnett River. Gosh, storm season at sea… not for the faint-hearted! Thanks for watching.
