CLIENT: Somerset College
VOYAGE NUMBER: 20230903
FROM: Hervey Bay to Manly
DATE: 4 Sept 2023
POSITION: Moon Point, Fraser Is
REPORT: Red Watch
We travelled from Hervey Bay to Platypus Bay today. We hoisted the sails for the first time at around 10am and anchored around 2.30pm. White Watch won the knot competition, on a lucky break, that we doubt will happen again. Nonetheless, they did very well.
We saw a lot of sea life on our journey, including turtles, dolphins, and pods of whales. The journey started very smooth, but as the wind picked up the water became choppy around lunchtime. Some of us were sick, though their righteous recovery inspires us. We hope conditions stay clear, since the sunset this afternoon was beautiful.
We swam at Platypus Bay from 3 -4pm where we played touch and explored the beach. Today couldn’t have been better.
