After waiting out the stormy weather in Island Head Creek, we moved on north, but not before seeing a
dugong working the creek near the boat.

After passing Townsend Island, the wind picked up and we had a fast kite reach up to the Duke Islands, where we stopped at Marble Island, and went ashore for a walk.

Leaving Marble Island at dawn.
Next morning on to Curlew Island, where we had a spectacular beach all to ourselves.
Now we are motor sailing further up to Brampton Island, near Mackay.
