Next section of reefs – Townsville to Whitsundays

After saying goodbye to our friends at Magnetic Island, it was time to resume our slow trek south. We might not be sailing much in the light conditions, but we are using the calmness to take a look at the next section of reefs on the 165 nm trip down from Townsville to the Whitsundays.

Michaelmas Reef Treasures

After some 10 days in Cairns, we enjoyed a small break in the wind – four days of below 15 knots before it returned to 20+. It was time to escape the midges and have some fun at the reef, delighting in colourful treasures at Michaelmas Reef!
