We Thought Pancake Creek Was Safe Then the Storm Hit on Our Passage South (Ep.46) | Sailing ARGO

In this episode, our passage south continues – another 85 nautical miles under our belts as we sail from North Keppel Island to Yeppoon for a quick reprovision, before setting out again via Great Keppel Island and onwards to Pancake Creek. That brings us to 694 nautical miles travelled, with just 176 to go before we’re finally home (unless of course we take more detours...). But the ocean had yet another test in store for us. While anchored at Pancake Creek, a northerly storm rolled in – thunder cracking overhead, lightning flashing across the sky, and winds gusting to 34 knots. Not the place to be in a blow like that from that direction! We rode it out, drenched and exhausted, but it set us up for a fast run to Lady Musgrave Island – our final challenge on this long passage south. Funnily enough, on our way north we’d also copped some pretty gnarly winds in this same anchorage, so it seems Pancake Creek just isn’t our lucky spot. We would have been happy not to see another storm like that for a while, but there's even more to come. Thanks for watching.
