Start Loc: Breakfast Bay, Gloucester Island (20o 03.24'S, 148o 27.55'E)
Narrative: After a very lazy start to the day, we raised the anchor at 10:55am and sailed under head sail the nautical mile or so to Monte's Reef Resort (20o 03.70'S, 148o 26.88'E). After anchoring at 11:10am, we took the dinghy ashore and had a quick look around. It didn't take long - "resort" is a generous description; it is more beachfront holiday cabins with a bar and restaurant. We had a nice lunch at the restaurant and headed back to the boat.
We left the resort at 2:00pm and motored the rest of the way through Gloucester Passage. We gave the reef a wide berth as we headed north and then north east into Bona Bay. It is a nice little anchorage; good holding and well protected from the NE winds we are getting at the moment.
End Loc: Bona Bay, Gloucester Island (20o 02.52'S, 148o 26.61'E)
