A few years ago I had the great good fortune to be part of a crew on a delivery of a Buizen 48, Breakaway, from Sydney to Mackay, skippered by Graeme Fraser. On that passage we'd made good time and so we had a days stop at Middle Percy Island. It's been somewhat of a holy grail to return to Middle Percy, and to do so on our own and in our own Buizen 48 (how did that happen?!?) has been a highlight of the trip.
We were the only boat the day we arrived, it was a luxury to have the bay to ourselves. Two other boats sailed in the next day, what can you do?
