A near collision at sea then rigging failure on our way to Middle Percy Island - Series 2 Ep 61

What began as an easy downwind sail from Port Clinton to Middle Percy Island on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef became more complicated as the wind and sea state built, we had a near collision with a huge motorboat and finally we suffered a serious rigging failure in 25-30 knot winds and 2 to 3 metre seas.

All’s well that ends well and we even managed a scrumptious hot dinner of Lamb Shanks from Our Galley when we eventually made it to West Bay on Middle Percy Island to finish our very eventful day.
