Day 176 Cairns to Fitzroy Island

Many others had braved the southerlys and so we decided to head off today. The weather forecast was that the winds were decreasing and so too the swell. It was quite bumpy and very uncomfortable but we managed to get to Fitzroy Island which will leave us in a great position tomorrow.

That night we had drinks with many other yachties who were waiting for the weather. We met some people who had participated in the Cairns to Lousiades Rally who shared lots of interesting stories. Could be something we might consider in the future.
