Скачать или смотреть Fast Forward to Queensland: Thomas Island to Shaw Island 28JUL24.

Knowing that strong winds were coming, I decided that I needed better shelter. As the morning progressed I could see that the wind was already building.

Mid morning I weighed anchor and ran out the jib only. The run was going to be a fairly short one and a broad reach which would make it fast.

The wind was pretty strong by the time I got the more open water and quite exciting going. Even on the jib I was frequently surfing.

Once I rounded Burning Point on Shaw Island the swell reduced and opened up to a very pretty bay. The wind, however, was still strong and I tried to find the most sheltered spot.

Always a relief to drop anchor after an intense run.
