The Adventures of Captain Ray Penson
Sailing Yacht Truce
Of course, the reality of cruising an area or coast is often different from the perceptions. This was very true of my cruise inside the Barrier Reef. I started the voyage in Gladstone, Queensland and finished the Barrier Reef section In Siasea, just around Cape York in the Gulf of Carpentaria, amazingly still in Queensland – Australia is a big place.
Truce is once again the only boat in the anchorage and its quite a remote and dark place at night. The second night was too much, I decided to get around Cape York in the morning no matter what the weather was doing.
Portland Roads was a bit of a disappointment for me. The weather was a bit windy for my small dinghy and there was nothing tempting me to go ashore. After an average comfort night at anchor I decided on an early morning start north again.
