Aiming to be at Airlie beach by 12:00 we set off just on 08:00 with a 15-20 SE still blowing. Passing through Hooks passage at slack water and then enjoying a 20 kts reach all the way to Airlie, Pilgrim top out at 7.2 under just the No. 1 headsail alone.
While a very pleasant few hours, the trip had little that was noteworthy but for the density of traffic in these parts. We had big and little sail boats, including the Young Endeavour under sail and all nature of marine traffic in general. Tying up at around 13:00 we set about cleaning ourselves and the boat as we plan to be here a few days for some work on the boat.
