Having learnt our lesson on tidal currents the previous day we left early on a flood tide with the current supposedly working south/west bound with us. What a magic sail with flat waters eased sheets and 15knots of breeze. Absolutely magic! Kieran was up at 5am and finished his school work by morning tea time and with the wind and water in our favour we had the pick down before midday and enjoying the surrounds of Galiwinku (an Aboriginal mission community). Once Illusion had caught up with us (hehehehheee – once a racer always a racer) we all went ashore to visit the Art and Crafts Centre that we had heard so much about. The walk through the local community was a real eye opener for the kids. On advice from the gentleman from the local Council we decided to leave the dogs onboard. On arrival we could understand why as dogs were everywhere and not particularly domesticated. Our dear little fluff balls would have ended up as a snack. The Art and Crafts Centre were very interesting with expensive canvases stacked against the walls and beautifully painted bark and wood crafts lined up on the floor. We couldn’t help to purchase a few to add to our travel collection at home. Kieran was keen to catch up with some local kids to kick the footy, but they were all in school apart from a few young kids that spoke the local language so the footy was carried the whole way and back again. We spotted a small section of beach on the other side of the bay so agreed to take the dogs for a walk there and enjoy our drinks ashore once again. Tomorrow we head for Cape Stewart approximately 50NM and hopefully with a helping current. We’re becoming obsessed with tide and currents!
