[status] Departed Townsville last hour bound for Cooktown to pay homage to The Great Mariner. Sunny day, calm seas, wind SE @ 10-12. There will be a nearly full moon tonight. All in all, very nice. Townsville was lovely. Breakwater Marina was superb. Good groceries at Coles and Woolies plus several really great fresh veggie places. Had our fuel injection pump replaced on our genset with no drama. (Shop rate was $110/hour). Installed Iridium Go whioch was fairly straight forward. Sort of buddy boating with Amandla who has had myriad problems and needs someone relatively close by. We're happy to be of help. Recived a wonderful note from Christopher (The Younger) on Fathers Day. All well on board.
