Lifting anchor at 6:00am we left Eden and headed north to Bermagui. We motor sailed with both main & head sail as the winds were light 5-10 kn Westerly with the swell coming from the south. It does get easier once you turn that corner.

We arrived at Bermagui at 1:00pm, we practiced our MOB drill before heading into the harbour, Dean had slippery fingers & lost a fender overboard. As there were a few of us, we rafted up to Beaujolais 1 which I was quite grateful for, as they being a bigger boat, it was a lot easier climbing up onto the jetty than if we had to climb from Time Flies. Although at low tide Stephen needed to rig up a climbing rope as there was no way we could get up.

We enjoyed a meal at the pub and a couple of drinks at the Wine Bar with Stephen & Jude.

It looks like Bermagui will be home for a while with an Easterly Low hitting QLD over the weekend & making its way down the coast bringing lots of rain & a very large swell.

45.6 nm, 8 hrs, avg speed 6.5 kn, 5-10 kn W, total motor sailing 8 hrs
