Monday 12th November

We spent a somewhat unpleasant night in dreary Funnel bay. Relieved the anchor held as it was windy and there was an offshore chop. We briefly considered sailing but the wind was 25 to 35 knots blowing more or less from where we wanted to go. We therefore motored with the twin outboards doing a splendid job of pushing us through the steep seas in the Whitsunday Passage. On the way we passed through "Unsafe Passage" (honest). We finally anchored in CID Harbour. The 13nm took us 3.5hr. We read and relaxed before going ashore for a walk. Fish cooked on the BBQ was tonight's supper.
