Port Douglas - Isle of Man

After a lovely departure from Fleetwood, an excellent beginning to our journey motoring out under clear sky & calm seas. Even better ... after a few hours the wind slowly built up to 20 kn and we were able to sail at hull speed as night fell. A southwesterly wind, so we sailed northwest to the Isle of Man. Excellent night of sailing we arrived at Port Douglas at 5 am, we'll stay here for half a day, wait for the wind to turn westerly and we'll make the southwest run to Dublin, Ireland. All well, boat running excellent, no issues.
