Anchored behind Cape Capricorn

18 June 2014
Well here we are on the tropic of capricorn. From now on we will be officially  sailing in the tropics.Yesterday afternoon at Lady Musgrave Island we went ashore to see the birds. They aren't afraid of people and allow one to get close.
The sail across from LMI to here was great, broad reaching with 2 reefs in the main, no pole out but we did end up poling the headsail for the last 2 hours. We covered 50nm in 8.5 hours.
We voyage onward to Great Keppel Island tomorrow.
It is currently 25 knots at the lighthouse above us 2030 anchor drag alarm is on.

All good on Wildflower
