Start Loc: Cape Capricorn (23o 29.12’ S, 151o 13.87’ E)
Narrative: After climbing to the lighthouse this morning, we left the cove at Cape Capricorn at 12:15pm and set sail for Hummocky Island. Our course was basically NW and the wind was from the SE at12kts, so we ran all the way to the west side of Hummocky at a lazy 4kts under full head sail. The weather was warm and sunny with clear skies. It was only a short hop to Hummocky Island and the kids were doing there school work, so I was in no hurry and quite happy to cruise slowly along. We jibed to sail up the coast of Hummocky and after rounding the NW point of the island, furled the head sail and motored into the bay. We were anchored by 2:50pm. An easy day. Tomorrow we plan to continue to Great Keppel Island, and probably anchor on the north side in Second Bay.
