Finally the weather window opened for us to move on to Refuge Cove, we dropped the swing mooring at 6:45am exiting Cleeland Bight at 7am.

 

 

10-15kn SW with 3-4m swell, 1 reef & No 3 head sail. Time Flies settled into a nice rhythm. We rounded Cape Liptrap at 12:30pm half an hour ahead of our predicted time.

Enjoying the beautiful coast we rounded the bottom of Wilsons Prom @ 4:45pm and headed up towards the light house, pulled the main sail down and motored with the headsail. Dean decided the trip was a little boring and self inflated his life jacket.

Arrived at Refuge Cove at 7:15pm. The anchor didn’t seem to want to hold, it took 3 goes. Beaujolais 1 arrived 2hrs later after being caught back @ Cleeland Bight with motor starter issues.

Again we had quite a few dolphins join us along the way, I can’ get enough & particularly love it when you see them in the distance swimming towards you.

74.86 nm, 12 hrs 44 min, avg speed 5.87 kn, 10-15 kn SW, total motor sailing 5 ¼ hrs
