Dunk Island




  • Morning watch again.
  • Had to gasket up the topgallant and course. If your on the corner ensure the course is fully clewed up otherwise you have to haul the sail by hand whilst balancing feet on the on the Flemish horse. Very tiring.
  • We sailed past Hinchenbrook Island which had awesome rolling clouds coming off (the photos don’t do it justice).
  • We pull into the Dunk Island resort which unfortunately had been pretty badly damaged after a recent cyclone. That night we had a barbie on our own private island, after which we held command day elections. Being on a tropical island gave this an uncanny survivor-like feel. Alliances were formed and votes made, however instead of torches being extinguished we just wrote names on a whiteboard. Below are the command day election results:

  • Captain ~ Mick
  • X.O ~ Juzzy
  • Watch Officer ~ Tommy Top Guns
  • Navs ~ Dr Jess and Anna
  • Watch Leaders ~ Nick, Tam and Jesse
  • Cookies ~ Vanessa, Ryan and Alex



    Here is the corroborating Captains log entry
