25th Cooktown Next morning we sailed on to Cooktown. Fuelled up at wharf taking on extra fuel as from here on we expect fuelling stations to be limited. Did a “Cooks tour” of the town and visited the sight where Cook beached and repaired the Endevour. Strong wind warning out so have stayed an extra day catching up on bookwork and winch repairs. Off to Lizard Island tomorrow. From here on we expect communications to be spasmodic so will blog when we get the opportunity.
24th Bloomfeild River
On the way to Cooktown we stayed at the mouth of the Bloomfeild River overnight, we tried to get into the river but was blocked by banks, there must be some way in but we couldn’t find the crazy maze entrance and picked down behind a hill for the night, a few line squalls passed over during the night and, we thanked our oversize Delta anchor for holding on.

Greetings to all and fairsailing on Spindrift.
Have been trying to post a comment for a few days now using my email addresses but no luck. So posted a comment using Cheryls email address which worked.
It nows appears that I may need a google account so I have done that.
Have heard from Kay that you are now at Cape York. What a fantastic trip
Love Beaty and Charlie
Hi here we are again trying to get thru to you maybe this time. It sounds like you are having a great time and we hope you are having all fair weather, as we are here. We have another three weeks here then home. We survived the whale shark diving and it was just the best thing to do i am going to line up for it again. Well keep safe and happy love to you all on board cheers Julie & Jim
