Arrived @ Norman Reef. Diving looks like it should be good. We are on a marine parks public mooring, which is apparently good enough for gales, so we should be OK. Not sure how long we’re going stay ... Read More

Decided to overnight in a nice calm bay behind Cape Bedford. Wouldn’t have got to Cooktown much before sunset, and it’s too crowded in there to faff around in the dark..
