We left yesterday at 3am to try to escape the strong S-SE winds (30knt+) forecasted to reach Fraser Island, 45 miles away.  The winds had a different idea. It blew “only” up to 25 knot and early in the morning but from E-SE… just on our nose. So under the rain and with bumpy seas, we started a tacking training session, with a counter current of 1 knot, and ended up doing 70 miles, arriving at 3pm. We are anchored in Platypus Bay, in front of a very long white sand beach that we’ll go and explore before the next rain arrive.
