Let's keep ticking nautical miles and boat jobs off! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=C6M8FAYZ5K2ZS We set out to leave Gloucester Passage in search for some diesel and gas, because we need both of these before we can make anymore further plans about our end destination! Upon leaving the protected Gloucester Passage we were greeted with appalling sea state and windy wind from the previous nights supercell storm that we copped. Our plan to pull up to a little beach, tender ashore and run across the road was thrown out the window as we weren't going to be able to anchor, nor get to shore safely. Completely unprepared to sail we turned Nakama back around. Our next best option was booking ourselves a night at the marina to regroup, but that means turning around and heading South, although this does not align with our most recent adoption of a no turning back policy we made an exception as we are desperate for a hot coffee. A 5 hour coffee run (sail), now thats coffee desperation. After sipping cocktails with our feet in the resort pool we ponder on what we should do for the cyclone season and with only a week of uni holidays left we decided instead of beating into Northerly winds we would take it a little bit slower and explore the islands we missed around this local area. THAT MEANS, we are staying in Airlie Beach for the cyclone season in order to SAIL AROUND AUSTRALIA, yes thats right we are determined to circumnavigate Australia! I can't believe we just said that.
