Episode 11 Sailing from Percy to Curlew then Scawfell Islands

It was time to leave Percy Island as there were strong south easterlies on the way, 25 to 30 knotts expected. We set off to Curlew Island, around 30 nautical miles away - very light winds and we had to motor sail most of the way taking about 6hrs. Lots of small rocky islands along the way as we passed the Beverly Group of islands and Curlew was part of the Guardfish Cluster. We anchored in Davidson Bay with one other vessel and rode out the bulk of the strong winds. Set sail the next day with an early start, for Scawfell Island. Strong winds made for an exciting day and we had a great sail, averaging around 6 knotts but peaking at 8. Scawfell Island was very protected in Recluse Bay and there were quite a few vessels nestled in here. Pretty beaches and bays but we didn't go ashore. Next day we headed off to Thomas Island, which appears in our next episode. What camera gear do we use?
