A quick update. We spent a good night inside Weld Island, much more comfortable anchorage than Onslow Town.

We made an early start this morning on passage to Steamboat Island and if all goes well we will hang off the southern part of that island until about 3.00am tomorrow and then make the 40nm run over to the Montibellos, to arrive early afternoon.

The weather forecast is still in the 20-25 kts range but is no longer forecast to get up to the 30+ so we should have a quick reach across to south Montibellos.

From this you can see we are reconsidering the plan to reach the Kimberley's as the schedule does not allow sufficient time. More on this later.

Last night was another fish night, only this time I caught the dinner! another Shark Mackerel. Fresh they make good eating as always helped by Rudi's mastery.
