Brupeg pushes 160 miles north along the remote Queensland coast inside the Great Barrier Reef, covering a multi-day passage from Coombs Reef through Pippin Inlet, the Outer Reef anchorage, and into Lockhart River.Watch
Navigation through this stretch demands constant chart-reliance: reefs extend well offshore with no markers, depths vary from 10 to 830 metres within short distances, and strong tidal currents run through reef gaps that are invisible from the surface.13:59 The crew takes Laird's Passage to cut 30 miles off the route, then anchors overnight at Sandbank Number 8 in 30 metres of water, deploying 60 metres of chain with a 100-metre anchor alarm radius after the hook takes time to bite in what appears to be crushed coral.8:51 Solar panels produce 3.1 kW in overcast conditions during the passage.5:35
Lockhart River is an Aboriginal community with a supermarket that is closed on weekends; the crew coordinates a weekday resupply by calling the store manager directly, who offers a pickup.1:55 A local also drives them in from the beach in extreme heat.19:16 After restocking food and collecting rainwater, they depart for Cape Grenville on a nine-hour steam, planning a 4 a.m. departure the following day to retrieve a Pacific Ocean fishing tracker and ghost net from an unnamed remote beach before pressing to Turtle Head Island at the northern tip of Australia.23:01
Resupply at isolated communities along Cape York requires advance contact and strict attention to opening days.
