We left Curlew Island at about 0620 this morning to pick up the wind (which came up last night and made new rattles on the boat – so not too much sleep). Last night Bucket went to Kev’s boat to watch the State of Origin – lucky we won, he arrived back on board “tired but happy”. Today’s sail was not too bad off the breeze and moved us along smartly until the wind gave up the ghost about midday, so we motored the last few miles to Mackay Marina.
