We're currently very happily anchored in Elizabeth Bay on Cape Wilberforce just south of the Wessel islands and North West of Gove. Last night was great with the seas really calming down and the wind turning more to the South West so we were able to sail on a beam Reach (wind from the side instead of behind) and so a lot less rolly! We averaged around 5 knots and finally had no problems getting some much needed sleep. Jimmy even made popcorn and was able to watch a movie in the cockpit on his watch with out getting wet. Today was even better and our timing perfect as we sailed behind the reef and dropped the anchor just as the sun was setting. We lost Silene during the night as they raced off ahead of us and being so fast they made it in to anchor five hours ahead of us. Now we plan to get some warm food in our stomachs, watch a movie and have a lovely calm nights sleep as tomorrow is a big day..... Caroline.
