Today wasn’t the perfect day with southerly swell & westerly seas but it certainly had the 15-20kn we like as we get to sail. With 1 reef in and full headsail it was like a washing machine, we decided to furl the heady in which made it more comfortable and we were still achieving above 6kn. We were planning on heading to Port Stephens but knowing there was another possible ECL coming we didn’t want to get stuck there, so we decided to continue on to Sugarloaf bay/Seal Rocks with Della Rue for the night.

 

This was a very nice bay but you can only anchor here when the swell & winds are coming from the south. We were welcomed by more whales and a small pod of dolphins, a great way to end the day.

53.47 nm, 8 hrs 45 mins, avg speed 6.11 kn, 15-20 kn SW, total motor sailing 0 hrs.
