VOYAGE NUMBER: 20230710
FROM: Cairns to Townsville
DATE: 11 July 2023
POSITION: Mourilyan Harbour
REPORT: Red Watch
We woke up at 6:30 and were immediately presented with an early morning breakfast which was followed later by a hot breakfast. To begin our journey, we went around the northern side of Fitzroy Island. We sailed southwards. Our journey was plagued with harsh weather and rough seas. Because of the rough seas, it caused many people to become seasick.
While the people who were ill were at the stern of the ship, the rest of us laid down in the middle of the ship. We laid down with the occasion of us getting up when we had jobs to do, or the ship was about to tack. The aim was to get to Dunk Island, but our steering wasn’t the best making us anchor at Mourilyan Harbour. We had sausages, mash, corn, and beans for dinner. We then had showers and got ready for bed to hopefully get a good night’s sleep.
