Cyclone season in the tropical north is approaching and therefore I am beginning my solo sail from the Whitsundays back to Brisbane.
For the first four days it was blowing 20 to 25 knots from South East; right on the nose. Whilst these waters are protected by the Barrier Reef, there is quite a bit of current that will create some interesting conditions as it flows around islands, accelerates through narrow passages and when running against the wind.
This is the first part of a 9 day trip, sailing every day except for two days that I spent at anchor. This trip and the videos are really just about the beauty and slowness of sailing. I make these videos and share them because I just love the beauty of being on the water and moving with only the wind. I hope you enjoy the footage.

San Francisco Bay sailor on a 30 foot trimaran Condor. Mate, that is what i call a real beat. The thing I hate about being caught out in those types of beats...what if something gives way in the rigging? I was caught off of Anacapa Island, in the Channel islands off of Ventura one time in heavy winds of about 23-35 knots. I was trying to get onto the back side of Santa Cruz island (south side) for wind protection against a Santa Ana wind forecast to fill in late evening. I was on a 27 foot Farrier trimaran at that time. We beat for hours and i bet we didn't make 2 miles. Finally i had to bear off and make it back to Ventura. Between the Channel islands and the coast of california it really is like a wind funnel. Waves were 6-8 footers with on the beam...tons of wind...and I finally got in around dark and just left everything laying on the deck. I thought i was gonna die...smile. So, when you said "it was the most challenging conditions you had experienced you brought me back to that crossing. People who don't sail have no idea how violent the sea can be when she sets her mind to it. Really enjoyed the tack from starboard over to port. #32 footer looked like she is a rugged little ship and well found. Loved it.
