Name that fish ? Well just arrived in Cooktown waiting for a little more water as it's just hit low tide. After Undine sand cay we headed out and the wind got us half way to Hope islands and was dropping fast so we went to Weary Bay for the night a little rock and roll but not the worse we have had so far. Of course no communications from 10 nautical miles out and we left there in the morning to Hope Island East beautiful spot and dead calm. This morning we sailed to Cooktown and we have internet again as long as you are close 😂

Well sadly Nabu past away due to crystals in his bladder. The vet told me that they may be able to save him but he would only be able to eat his dietary dry food and nothing else and that would be terrible as he had a healthy appetite and enjoyed fishing 🎣 for his dinner. A great 1st mate no rodents or bird's allowed on the boat he will be sadly missed. RIP

5 days in Blue water marina and a lot of thing are done my car is now on a truck to Brisbane to be sold. Reversed the anchor chain and then found a hydraulic leak (old fitting so after a day for trying solutions I add 2 new hoses and bypassed all the old fittings and pipes now works better then ever. One spreader light decided it was a strobe didn't help Richard trying to drop the anchor in the dark fixed that and the rote control spot light had a bad wire connector so fixed that as well. Got back yesterday evening and there was Peter Halse at the bar great catch up as Peter's boat is currently in Port Douglas and Peter will continue with his mechanical apprenticeship lol. All set to drop ropes this morning at 6 am Richard has made the decision to end his time on Escapee. As I was about to head off the starter motor wouldn't engage so have spent the day pulling it out clean and greasing the shaft bench tested and put back on the motor all working and tomorrow morning I'm out of here the adventure continues.
