Arrival at Bagaman Island


Friday 27th. Wind E-SE 12-15knts. Bagaman Island 11 07.75S, 152 41.99E

It was Ross Jones' Birthday!

We left Punawan Island 0600 to sail to Bagaman Island, 42nm to the east.

We crossed Jomard Strait for the second, time seeing numerous large ships.f It was a very pleasant trip arriving at Bagaman Island at 1230. We were then joined by the other rally yachts during the afternoon.

Spent a quiet afternoon making water and baking bread. 

We celebrated Ross's birthday with Roast Lamb and red wine for dinner. Before hand we visited Avante to celebrate with a glass of champagne. The fleet sang "Happy birthday"  over the VHF to Ross and Catherine (also birthday) off Southern Belle.

Local welcome celebrations ashore tomorrow!
