Monday 1 December 
Started early, to a lovely sunrise, so that I can take advantage of the still mornings before the short, sharp northerly wacks me after lunch.,
The morning was just magic, the breeze didn’t start up till lunchtime you couldn’t pick the horizon on the water and the islands seems to be suspended in the air.
Arrived at the Escape River at 1500 hrs, a big run, the last two hours were sloppy but the rest was just magic. Had trouble finding a anchorage as there is a cultured pearl operation here and there is rafts of the bloody things everywhere .
Had a quite beer , nearly there now ,I can taste it, or is the draft beer at Thursday island I’m thinking of, no it’s the achievement.
I don’t know if I will make it tomorrow as the tides are pretty vicious up here, just give it a shot and see where we end up.
