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!
With a promise of calm weather, we left Hinchinbrook Island and headed offshore. We have spent the most wonderful five days in company at a couple of new to us reefs: Kelso and Duncan. It was a once in a Blue Moon event in more ways than one!
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.
