Today we will be passing Steep Point, the entrance to South Passage; we will anchor close to the beach as the tenders are sent out to fish for the many pelagics that are abundant in these waters.

Some of you may wish to enjoy a refreshing swim or explore the pristine beaches of Dirk Hartog Island.

We have a long journey ahead of us today, destination Monte Bello Island group, so time to relax and enjoy the sounds of the ocean as the miles role by.

Perhaps a few cold drinks before dinner is served by our chef and a beautiful west Australian sunset to put close to another pleasant day.

Today we arrive at the Monte Bello Island group. We will fish, explore the islands and swim in the tranquil waters that these Islands protect.

We will also visit the site of Ground Zero where an atomic blast occurred in the 1950’s. After lunch we will move to Aden Cove to anchor in the calm waters there.

There will be more time this afternoon to fish swim or relax as we all enjoy a splendid evening in the calm and tranquillity of the islands.

A full day of exploring the Island group today, with more fishing or swimming for those that are keen.

A visit to Champagne Bay is also on our list.

We will remain at the Monte’s for another day and those keen can spend more time fishing. Alternatively, we will go ashore on Trimoulle Island and survey the wreckage of the “Plim”, a ship loaded with an atomic bomb, blown to bits during the atomic testing.

We will do some more exploring and see if we can locate some other items that are scattered around this island.

Later in the day we will anchor at Vodka Beach and survey the bunkers filled with the remains of electronic measuring equipment. We will depart the Monte’s early evening.

In the early hours we arrive in Dampier. After breakfast we will head out to the islands surrounding Dampier Port.

After a beach visit and swim we head to the outer islands for a spot of fishing. We depart Dampier late in the afternoon bound for Broome.

Today is a day for relaxing on-board as we steam towards the gateway to the Kimberley, Broome, passing endless beaches and rock formations enjoying the company of our fellow travellers and crew.

Weather permitting there may be an opportunity to troll a line for a good size Tuna or Spanish Mackerel, this is good territory for Pelagics.

Tonight will be our last dinner on board Odyssey, so time to enjoy drinks together with new friends as we watch the sun set.

After enjoying our last breakfast together on board Odyssey we should arrive at the Port of Broome mid morning. It’s time to say to exchange phone numbers and email addresses before saying goodbye to your crew and your new found friends.

A bus will be waiting at the port ready to take you to Broome town centre, for those of you that are flying out that day, or your accommodation in Broome.
