No internet or phone since Cooktown. Low on water.
Total isolation. ARGHH! No gin, running out of white wine, seriously
contemplating drinking own urine. Boat started small and getting smaller every
day. Skipper pushing us 15 hour days
with 4 am starts. We have been at sea
for 12 days and gotten off the boat only 3 times. Travelcalm has become my friend. Had to go ashore to get water at Portland
Roads and were attacked by sand flies.
Now covered in red welts. Rumours
of crocodiles lurking in the creeks so didn’t dawdle.

Albany Passage

Now we are in Seisa with 3G service and people. Aahh signs of civilisation. There might even be a little shop where we
could treat ourselves. We will go ashore
after lunch and check out this busy metropolis of about 160 people. Coming over the top through Albany Passage
and around Cape York was spectacular. Beautiful country and saw a whole crowd of
people at the very tip taking happy shots while we took happy shots of them
from the water. When I say crowd, it was
only 6 people but after days of only seeing one or two people at a time on
other boats, 6 is a crowd. Definitely would be nice to spend more time here as some top anchorages with fantastic scenery.
