A 35-mile passage from Mourilyan Harbour to Sudbury Cay in the Great Barrier Reef involves broad reaching in 15-to-20-knot southeast trade winds. The vessel, a sailboat named Sea Change, utilizes a windvane for steering while navigating the coastal shipping lane. At Sudbury Cay, public moorings provide anchorage, though high-tide wraparound swell can cause significant motion. A subsequent 8-mile sail leads to Fitzroy Island, where public moorings are available on the northwest side. Navigating toward Cairns, the vessel anchors in the shallow Mission Bay, where low-tide depths reach six feet, requiring the use of roll-dampening buckets to mitigate swell. The journey concludes at Yorkies Knob Yacht Club, where the owner meets the previous owners of the boat to perform mainsail repairs, including adding a fourth reef point using a Sailrite sewing machine. The owner then departs for a week-long trip to Seattle. Proper mooring technique involves pulling the mooring ball upside down onto the bow roller to prevent hull damage.
