33 34 S, 151 05 E Approx 10 Nm East of Kiama with around 50 nm to Sydney Heads. Expecting to be in Sydney Harbour this evening before continuing on to Pittwater Friday Morning. All well with the Breese dying off but still a reasonable size underlying swell. Happy Birthday to Rachael on board today as well she has now demanded bacon and eggs for breakfast!

36 58 S, 150 01 E Left Eden at 0730 this morning and now around 5 Nm off Merimmbula. Despite a sizeable underlying swell the seas here have dropped right off. Currently the wind is around 10- 15 Kts from the South with the forecast showing them dropping further as we progress up the coast.

Still in Eden, back on a mooring expecting the wind to be dying off tomorrow so based on the next forecast early tomorrow we are planning an early start up the coast.
Thanks for the Fresh Tuna Guys! (and the loan of some decent fenders) Made great Sushimi tonight

37 00 S, 150 21 E, Currently around 8 Nm South of Eden. Will be pulling in tonight to top up on fuel and wait for the forecast foul weather to blow through. Quite a frustrating day with very little breese again this morning despite the forecast 15-20 Kts making a slower than hoped for entrance to NSW waters. We expected to be able to make it as far north as Ulladulla but Murphy had his way again. The outlook now looks like Wednesday before we can head off again.
Saturday, 22 June 2013, 0900 Hrs
38 52 S, 147 02 E We passed Wilsons Prom late night / early morning and are well into the Strait approaching the oil fields. Still light winds hopefully going more SE today so we can sail a while. Regardless the plan is to be heading north on the NSW coast in 24 hours when stronger Easterlies are expected.

38 54 S, 145 43 E, 10 Nm West of Cape Liptrap. We left Port Phillip Heads at around 6am on the slack water. Spent several hours at anchor overnight. Conditions have been variable today and yesterday so under engine. Similar conditions are likely overnight however now expecting easterlies for much of the Bass Strait crossing. Bloody cold down here !
