Flying a kite The run from Bundaberg to the next anchorage north, Pancake Creek, was a beauty with a consistent following wind and plenty of time to experiment with sail arrangements. Gradually, gradually getting familiar with the boat and learning what works and what doesn't. The day's run was around 60 Nautical Miles and while we left with the sunrise, we were anchored up with plenty of daylight left to enjoy a beer.
We're starting to really appreciate the comfort and passage-making ability of the Big Cat at sea.
In our previous boat, Endurance, we were much slower, usually had quite a rolly trip for the day, and often arrived pretty wearily into the night's anchorage, which quite often was also quite rolly.
On El Gato, we cruise with our feet up and wander around to sit in a different vantage point whenever we feel like it. Luxury cruising indeed.
