Day 181 Magnetic to Cape Upstart

Today was another 5am start, and after pulling out of Nellie Bay (Magnetic Island) we said our goodbyes to Doug and Kirsten, who will now be staying in Townsville for the season. Today was a good sail, beautiful weather, although we had to do a lot of tacking out to sea for this part of our journey, up until (the dreaded) Cape Bowling Green. After Cape Bowling Green we then we had a good run across to Cape Upstart and managed to anchor up before it was dark.
