After departing a reef anchorage on an outgoing tide, the crew relies on Navionics charts to clear coastal obstacles and headlands before reaching Pancake Creek.2:00 They secure a public mooring ball in the creek, noting that these moorings are restricted to monohulls 10 meters or less.6:37 Following a stop at Gladstone Marina for provisioning and maintenance, the vessel crosses the Tropic of Capricorn at 23 degrees 33 minutes south.11:41 The crew then anchors at Hummocky Island in 16 feet of water, deploying a 5:1 scope to account for a 3-meter tidal swing.16:12 They use a dinghy to explore the island’s sea caves, encountering significant surge and local marine life, including jellyfish and coral.16:29 The passage highlights the importance of trusting weather forecasts and local navigation aids when transiting unfamiliar coastal waters.
