Steep Point
17 August 2007
We are now anchored at the southern end of Dirk Hartog Island after what can only be described as a perfect sail, we had 10 to 15 knots on the beam the whole day on a flat sea. The Urchin loved the conditions and led the other two yachts into the anchorage, I admit I had more canvas up. We spotted another 8 Dugongs out in the bay, hooked one mackerel but let him go as he pleaded for freedom due to his young age. The wind has now died and it was in for a swim, tomorrow we aim to head for the Abrolhos Islands and will therefore be out of range for about a week.
