Received phone call from Townsville Coast Guard, that my "Goat Boat" has been sited off Palm Island!
Apparently a commercial vessel which was delivering food to the island saw this red plastic blob floating along, and brought it back with them to townsville.
I checked our charts, and saw that Palm Island is about 25- 30nm north of Magnetic.
So the Goat boat has had a very adventurous time covering such a distance whilst we slept!
Today we circumnavigated Magnetic,with our visiting crew of Deb + Jim (picking up goat-boat on the way at Townsville).....and back to Horse-shoe bay again.
Am feeling very lucky, so we're now cracking a bottle of red to celebrate, with Greg's Vegetable/fetta risotto!
Tomorrow, we follow the same route as the goat boat, sailing to Orpheus Island (just next to Palm Island!)

Loving the blog - that is a true 'feel good' story about your goat boat....Having my own seafaring adventure here in Sydney caught a ferry last night :') a bit rolly - Due to some high winds - but kept stomach contents in check!
