A Little Further North Today

After four days of reprovisioning and maintenance in Roslyn Bay we move on again today.

Re provisions, a few facts based our eight days out from Gladstone:

- fresh water used from boat; 100 litres; thus 6.25 litres per man per day. "Can Do" would be happy as we have well exceeded the target of 140 ls per day.
- fresh water from well ar Yellow Patch - three buckets heated and shared for one of the best showers ever. Thanks to "Salty" for informing us of the existence of the well and Ray from "Moonshadow" for giving us the detailed directions so we could locate it.
- Beer used; one carton of Crownies
- Wine; an unaccounted number of bottles, but less that five
- Diesel fuel; 40 litres
- Outboard fuel; 5 litres since leaving Brisbane
- loaded up with $250 worth of groceries to get us to Mackay

So our next stops are likely to be:
- Corio Bay
- Pearl Bay
- Island Head Creek
- Hexham Island
- Middle Percy Island
- Digby or Curlew Island
- then a long day to Mackay

Allowing for multiple nights at some anchorages we expect to be in Mackay in 12 to 14 days.

Love to all,
Mark and Karen
