Back south for a bit

Having come back to Cairns from our Coral Sea trip, we made the unusual decision to head back south for a bit! This post explains why and where we have got to.

Anui at Big Stevens Reef

Reef Reconnaissance off Mackay

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.
