Left the Low Isles early and sailed to Hope Island where we anchored in the lagoon overnight. It was cold and windy so we didn't even go ashore. From there the next morning to Cook Town. the weather was a bit rough with the wind directly behind and a bit too much for the whisker pole although we tried. Cook Town is predictably all about Captain Cook! Monuments, museum etc. We had drinks at the Captain Cook Hotel. We are staying her another day as there looks like a storm out to sea. We're anchored in the Endeavour River where Cook came to make repairs to his boat while he was trying to find a way out of the reef. it's surprisingly cold for so far north - a result of the general cold snap all over Queensland I think. Anyway we're spending the time finishing off installing a salt water  tap in the galley to save fresh water when rinsing dishes. As you can see I have failed completely to get the GoPro videos up so far! Maybe today....
