Thursday July 5
Fine morning but we are not going much, it is fifteen weeks today since we sailed, it is a long time to be on the water, I did not think we should be so long in coming. A fine wind is getting up, it changed into our favour during the night.
We have got a sight of the great sandy island, it is a pleasant sight after we have been so long at sea, there is a lighthouse (Sandy Cape a pre-fabricated cast-iron tower, the tallest in Queensland) and a beacon light (probably the buoy on Breaksea Spit) on it, we have to go round the most northern point of the island. The log today Lat. 25.48S Long. 153.48E Break Sea Spit distance 91 miles.
