Departure

We are finally departing to the Lousiades. The trip is 501 Nm at 50 degrees true from Cairns.

Once we pass through the Grafton Passage we are into the Blue Water of the Coral Sea.



We can be tracked on the following web site Lousiades Rally

Our first landfall will be Duchtateau group of islands ( 11` 20S  152`21E ).

The wind on the passage will be 15-20Knts from the east, but there will be wind squalls so we can expect much stronger winds. Initially there will be a westerly current set and as we get closer to the Lousiades we can expect a northerly set
