Adam and Luke depart a remote anchorage on Australia's east coast with only 20–40 litres of fresh water after their watermaker fails, forcing a 150-mile overnight passage to Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays aboard their Prout Ltd. Snowgoose 37 Elite catamaran.0:35 The route north from Stanage Bay threads through Boomerang Shoals, Lake Shoals, and a maze of reef-strewn islands, requiring constant waypoint plotting on Navionics.1:18 A wind hole pins them at 1–3 knots through the afternoon; wind fills from the southeast after 1900 and builds to 30-knot gusts overnight with steep, breaking waves that make conditions rough and uncomfortable.5:30 Their GPS speed puck fails — a cracked housing and damaged shielding on the cable are diagnosed; a replacement costs £230 — so they track speed by other means.3:25 More critically, their AIS stops displaying targets just as they approach a ship anchorage off Mackay holding roughly 20 Class A vessels; Vessel Finder confirms the ships are there but Navionics fails to connect.13:54 Swapping in a spare emergency aerial, given to them by a contact named Ross in Thunderbird, restores AIS reception to eight miles.14:59 They run one-hour watch rotations, find the passage more demanding than offshore sailing due to traffic and navigation complexity, and arrive at Airlie Beach around 1500 the following day.16:50 Coastal night passages demand redundant AIS aerials and a backup vessel-tracking app when onboard integration fails.
