For the third and last post in our August 2023 Coral Sea Series, we are making another hop to a different atoll to take advantage of the last days of calm weather. This time we sail to Flora Reef, 75nm NW of Flinders Reefs.
With only a few days of calm weather sandwiched between long periods of 25-30 SE, we had to curtail our ambition to go out to the Coral Sea atoll of Marion Reef and instead opted to do a reconnaissance trip to the inner reefs 60-70 nm east of Mackay.
We were at the Mackay Marina waiting for our Starlink antenna to arrive for over two weeks so have no exciting adventure to tell you about. But we have been living on board for six years now and have written a story about that!
