Feature image is Brampton Island.
We had a unusual day with the weather. I heard a boat report that he was out in a north easterly with the wind coming out of the south. (having a go at the forecast) Once heading for Cockermouth we noticed the sea picking up and decided to make our way back. Head on into it, copping sloppy stuff to a meter taking our time wasn’t a issue. This prompted me to do some home work . The green type of triangle was close enough to our track. Decipher as you think best from these observations at 1000 the time we traveled to Keswick Island the worst of it. Weren’t real confidant of great conditions but vainly hoping it to be better. Wishing to do several Islands further out but had to abandon those.

This map is of the BOM’s weather stations and their wind readings in red and our track out of Mackay in flouro green.
Thanks for looking George.
