We begin the voyage home. Our plan is to day sail until Roslyn Bay (Yeppoon) where we will will refuel, restock and pick up Bill Neil, who will join us for the rest of the trip allowing for overnight shifts.
Our first leg is planned to be Scawfell Island but we are met by strong southerlies slowing us to 4 knots. An alternative anchorage is found. Goldsmith Island.
Goldsmith wound up being a great find that will definitely be on the list for next year. Pity we couldn't stop for an extra night but Scawfell awaits.
Goldsmith to Scawfell was a great day's sail. Still blowing from the South but terrific sailing conditions with us averaging around 8knots under headsail only.
Scawfell is another gem of the islands south of the Whitsundays..... and yep .....another wonderful sunset.
