Our current anchored position is: 14 09 181 south and 144 13 572 east.
We dropped anchor in Stokes Bay on Stanley Island, part of the Flinders Group of islands in the Great Barrier Reef. An absolutely perfectly calm and protected anchorage behind a rather sizeable island. Our day's sail was another perfect day except for the very end when we lost the wind entirely and had to motor for the last couple of miles. No worries, mate, as the Assies would say.
Troutbridge made it just a couple of hours later and there was one other yacht there, a couple also making their way northwards to join the rally.
A very peaceful night and, as we only had a short distance (36 nautical miles)to go to our next port of call, we won't have to rush to leave by the crack of dawn.
