Just like the Endeavour

1st Jul 2010


After a rolly night at Hummocky Island, we woke to a light southerly with predicted light winds for the rest of the morning - again. Keen for something different  and having been engrossed in Capt Cook' journals for the last few days, I elected to raise the main and sail off the anchor with the headsail just like the Endeavour was compelled to on every occassion. This all came to pass as planned so we started our trip to Rosslyn Bay at a leisurely and quiet 3.5 kts while we had breakfast. Finally being forced to start the engine, we then motored on (uneventfully) to Rosslyn bay arriving about lunchtime. Here, like Endeavour, I will effect some minor repairs and rest the crew before heading off Sunday after a predicted blow on Saturday.
