It becomes difficult after a while to describe these charters without repeating myself, they are always great and I have yet to have a single person aboard who was not eager to do it again. So I have decided to 'cut to the chase' and relate the facts.

I was feeling a little apprehensive toward the weather in the days leading up to this trip. A slow moving high pressure system was sitting over Victoria pumping up south easterlies up to 30knots and still hadn't budged much by Saturday our departure date. I was expecting a change of plan. Saumarez Reef was looking doubtful. Bruce, our skipper was more optimistic and as it turned out his predictions were pretty well spot on.
