Seisia to Escape River - Over the Top!

0700 We’d looked at the tides and decided to set off late but when we got up they were going the right way so we left arounf 7

0900 Nice cruise through the islands until we hit the run to Cape York. A bit rough but we mad good progress up the Albany channel until we made for the passage through rhe islands, wind and waves slowed us to 2 knots, we decided to wait a bit in Vicary bay and made for the passage at 1500














Passing the tip of Cape York


1700 We got through but is rough and we’re finding it hard to keep on course, still a way from  our anchorage

2000 Anchored in Escape river, very scary going in the dark. I later read  that this anchorage should not be attempted in the dark we were pretty lucky to make it without incident.
