32 16 S, 152 42 E, 10Nm NE of seal Rocks, just over 100 Nm to Sydney and still under engine since leaving Coffs. Expecting Northerly winds this afternoon to speed things up a bit. All well with an ETA of around 24 hrs at the moment.

30 18.2 S, 153 08.7 E, Coffs Harbour public wharf. The place is full of others seeking shelter. The Southerly hit here around 2100 Hrs slowing the last 15 Nm to a crawl. Time for a decent sleep. Hopefully the conditions will be calm for Thursday afternoon to allow us to be back underway.
October 29, 2013 1730 Hrs
29 45 S, 153 25 E, Approximately 10 Nm North of Nth Solitary Island. Still making good progress with 20-30 Kt winds from the North. Further south its been blowing southerly most of the day so hope it keeps moving slowly up the coast so as we can be tucked into Coffs harbour before it changes here. Thunderstorms to the north currently so a wet evening on its way. All well

28 20 S, 153 44 E Back in NSW, around 15 Nm North of Byron Bay. All is well although with a bit of Nausea amongst the crew due to slightly bumpy conditions the first half a day has not seen too much of our provisions consumed. All seem to be adjusting well now however. Current forecast is for a Southerly change late tonight so we expect to be parked somewhere (Coffs?) before then.

26 41.2 S, 153 07.8, Mooloolaba Yacht Club Marina Ready to leave within the hour. Current forecast looks like a quick trip to Coffs followed by a couple of days wait until the wind again goes back to the North. Welcome back on board Doug and first time on board for Amii.
