Thankfully the 2nd week has seen the end of beating into wind AND current as we have continued west at the same latitude. If the week began with a bit of whimper, with still some adverse current, it has ended with bang (of sorts), with a PB for Windchase, yay!!

Friday 26th June

Yesterday we all piled into the dinghy and headed around the west side of
Great Keppel island. We found the large bay (ship wreck bay) we had sailed
past on the way to our anchorage. A beautifull bay but not as sheltered as
our anchorage. In the sand at high water mark we found parts of a ship wreck
including the pins used to hold the timber boat together.

[status] Our planned plunge south has been thwarted by SSW wind of 16-20kn for the last 12 hours, so last night we tacked (for the 75 billionth time) and have been pounding our way into the steep chop heading slightly S of W, making between 3-5kn into the current. I really wanted to be south of 2N when we turned, but the prospect of sailing away from FP and going backwards at 2-3nm/hour just wasn't palatable!
