CYCA Berth B34, All well arrived just as the wind started to build. A scary last hour with whales breeching around 10m from the boat in the dark off Barrenjoey. Fortunately none came on board

32 45 S, 153 13 E, Currently off Port Stephens so a little over 85 Nm to go. Currently a light 8 kt NW breese that will hopefully build a little more so that we are finally able to shut down the noise of the engine. Current ETA is for very early Thursday morning before winds go further to the SW

30 22 S, 153 10 E, Left Coffs Harbour an hour or so ago. Lovely weather with what are now variable winds. The predicted strong S-SW winds didn’t eventuate here despite storm damage in Sydney overnight. With more Northerlies on the way hopefully will be in Sydney now on Wednesday evening or early Thursday Morning.

30 18.2 S, 153 08.8 E, Coffs Harbour Marina. Great run and beautiful weather here in Coffs currently. Seems a shame to pull in as the NW winds had kicked in nicely. Watching the observations we can see over 40 Kts hit Sydney a few hours ago so thought it prudent to stop here for hopefully no more that 15 ish hours when the front has moved through. All going very well. A quick clean up and the crew are all off for a swim.
Sunday, 11 August 2013 1500 Hrs
Left Southport Yacht Club and on the way to Sydney. Forecast is for light winds for the first 24 hrs or so then after that a brief shift to the South before lightening off again. Based on this will be watching for the change and expect to stop and wait for it to go through (Possibly at Coffs Harbour) before continuing on.
