Inglis Isalnd to Howard Isalnd- delayed due to network coverage

"The Trio" travelling together

Beautiful Cadel Stright

6th and 7th of June Inglis Island 12 degrees 01. 19 South and 136 degrees.09.13 East was a short sail away from Elizabeth Bay.Still just easing into sailing again.We have managed to lose yet another couple of lures...gone...bye...bye.Must have been some "enormous" fish or... So far what we have heard of Northern Territory fishing "there is so much fish that they jump on your hooks and all you have to do is to pull them out" remains a MYTH. "Night Moves" have been lucky and caught a rather sizable tuna. Inglis Island was not the most memorable place so we made our own memories by having a singalong at sunset with Indian curry fish and saffron rice for all on Cognac which started dinner parties over the next few evenings.The crossing to Howard Island 12 degrees 06. 07 South and 135 degrees 27. 88 East the following day

Picture perfect part of the team from Golden Legend

was what we all described "the perfect sail" with perfect wind and perfect timing of tides(the travellators) We all had a beautiful day with a pinch of uncertainty in few places . We had to travel trough Cadell Strait which had a tricky bit at the entry.A very shallow sandbank so much so that we could see the bottom of the sea lots of Eddies(the whirly bits) and crocodiles

And crocodiles are always there like"walking logs" don't listen to anyone
who
tells you otherwise

All went well.We all concluded over Italian pasta and Roy Orbison music in the evening that it was the kind of day that would make you forget all the bad bits that happen along the way!
