Underway at last
So we are away.
Forecast is for light winds, but we have a nice sea breeze currently getting us to the SE, so we'll go with it as long as we can.
Nearly ran into a whale within the first 10 minutes of leaving Mackay harbour, a pair of humpbacks surfaced within 15m of us, gave us a bit of a shock, but a nice welcome to the start of the voyage.
All crew are comfortable, no Mal de Mer yet - ginger tablets working their magic.
Having a few hiccups with the blog / photos / position report, but we are learning. I think we time-warped to Brisbane at one stage!!
Customs were great - no problems there, although Sarah was a little spooked by their guns.
So we just need to settle into a lookout routine, and enjoy the breeze whilst we have it.
Will check in again soon

Ahoy me hearties,
At last you are finally underway and escorted by the heavy mob no less!!!!!
And - we're off
How wonderful that I can keep a track on Alfie from my bed with my morning cup of tea! I hope you got nice photos of the Humpbacks! Not a bit jealous ....... Barbs told Johno he is taking you to the Tal Christmas do last night. He will eat your turkey for you. S had his radio active scan yesterday, don't think it was very nice, he will glow in the dark for a week now. Be a good girl and do as you are told (as if) Miss you Hugs xxxx
