We made it to NT! Yes, our treacherous passage across the Gulf of Carpenteria was rather uneventful - in terms of sailing. And our welcome to the Northern Territory was uneventful as well, save the potato patch of current and steep seas we hit as we rounded Cape Wessel.
We are now tucked in a nice, calm anchorage at Two Island Bay, which you would have a hard time finding on a map. I made pizza for dinner and Dad made chocolate chocolate chip cookies for dessert (obviously we are on a diet), and although it is only 6:30 PM I am ready for bed. It will be absolutely delightful to have a calm night's sleep without having to get up at midnight for a watch or sleep hanging on for fear of being thrown out of bed.
More to come when I am not feeling like such a zombie.
