Ah, the southeasterlies

Days 52=>54: Shute Harbor (no travel), Bowen (46 miles)

Started very early (1am) to take advantage ofthe last couple of hours of the north going ebb current (strong in this area).
Aided by moderate SEerlies, I decided to go all the way into Bowen. Think I'll take another day off and wonder about town.
(BTW, I did get my package in Shute Harbor (Airlie Beach).

Once I'm off from here, I'll be in the 'wild' for several days. No TOWNS until, you guessed it TOWNSville.
