| NORTH the EAST COAST of AUSTRALIA 2 - June 2011 |
|
|||||
After a month of sailing we started to get used to sailing with two small ones on board. We enjoyed the days getting warmer the further north we came. The biggest fish so far on our looong voyage was caught sailing in to Margaret Bay. 18,5 kg Wahoo!!! From Lizard Island and north we also met other sailors on a long voyage. Some of them were heading west to South Africa, as us. |
