Southbound

The reverse trip south is quite different; winds are lighter and fickle, so more motoring than sailing the first few days until we reach Airlie Beach.  We found Notorious the pirate ship at Cape Upstart and anchored alongside Cat Play and Catlypso.  The dodgy old trawler has sunk and now has a yellow danger marker, making it easier to see.  Leaving at first light, we had the almost-full moon to add more light.  Optimistically hoisted the main, then pulled out the screecher, but until we’d cleared the headland still had to use the “iron sail”.
