Date/time: Mar 22, 2006 12:00 local Position at noon: 15001' S & 125011' E Crew Ben, Brad, & Kevin Goal: Explore Kimberley area of Western Australia Remarks: Left anchorage of favor at Purulba Creek at noon yesterday. Favorable tide going up to 1 mile north of Whirlpool Point where we had anchored on the way in. Good anchorage after dark but had our track and waypoints from before. Lift anchor today at 07:15 and head for Hunter River 50 miles through Islands. Met a heavy rain storm with gale force winds (35 kts.) going into Prince Fredrick Harbour but no problem. Towing 'Sidekick' and she bounced out of the water a few times. Exceptional scenery through the Islands with cliffs and beaches and lovely hills and nice clean water. A good place to relax and read and eat too much.
