We are in Cooktown-stuck here for 3-4 days of strong winds which blew us
into harbour last Sunday, after a very exciting turbulent sail from
Bloomfield River. It's a very small town but interesting-we'll be experts on
Capt. Cook by the time we leave,having checked out all the historic sites
and the excellent James Cook Museum and climbed to the top of Grassy Hill to
check out the Reef as Cook did.

been to 30 years ago -hasn't Port Douglas grown up beautifully? except for
the crocs beside the creek where we had to anchor!
We were disappointed with Cairns-very poor boatie facilities ,draggy channel anchorages and a rough wet ride across from the Yacht Club and town facilities
