Low Isles to Cooktown via Hope Island

Scudding across the waves at 6 knots plus, gull wing rig looking good.  Convoy of boats going from Low Isles to Hope Island but then we were on our own track to Cooktown.  Arrived after lunch to explore the town which was getting ready for their annual re-enactment of Captain Cook's arrival in 1770 where he stayed for several weeks to repair his ship, the Endeavour, after hitting a reef.
We discovered  that sailing the trade winds means starting the day with 15 minutes of activity setting the sails then relaxing the rest of the day and in Eileen's case trying not to be ill and taking several naps.  Hugo, the wind vane, is our loyal servant who does all the work needing only an occasional sharp rebuke and tweak to get him back on course.  Then at the end of the day there is another 15 minutes of activity anchoring and securing the boat followed by sundowners and dinner. It is exhausting!
