1130 hrs arrived in Adelaide. All well update when able
Saturday, 1 March 2014, 1130 Hrs
36 47 S, 139 31 E, Currently off Kingston, Port Caroline by around 20Nm. We will be out of phone reception for the next 12 hrs or more so messages are only via the Satellite phone until then. Current ETA has been pushed back to Sunday morning as we slowed down overnight and are currently still over 150 Nm to go.
Friday, 28 February 2014, 0815 Hrs
Leaving Portland, ETA Saturday Night. Forecast is for SE winds for the rest of the trip.
Thursday, 27 February 2014, 1400 Hrs
38 20.8 S, 141 36.6 E, Moored at the new Portland floating Marina. Still getting their facilities together but great friendly staff who drove us to the fuel station and organised a key to the amenities at the Sailing club.
Wednesday, 26 February 2014, 1500 Hrs
38 51 S, 143 36 E Currently off Cape Otway, we had up to 30 Kts overnight from the West to SW which apart from being quite uncomfortable sent us a bit further North than we wanted. The wind will stay in overnight but are expecting to re-fuel at Portland tomorrow so a little more south in the wind tonight is hoped for.
Tuesday, 25 February 2014, 1030 Hrs
3906 S, 145 57 E, 20 Nm past Wilsons Promontory, light Northerly winds and about to put more sail up as have been under engine most of the way now. Expecting a west to south westerly change so hopefully will make some distance before then. All going well on board but too early for an ETA as we will probably need to stop for fuel when able.
Monday, 24 February 2014, 1230 Hrs
38 05 S, 147 59 E, Just over half way to Wilsons Promontory from Eden, amongst the Bass Strait oil Rigs. Currently under engine and making good progress. All is well

Leaving Eden, expecting to be out of normal internet range for periods of time over the next few days so updates will be irregular or only on the “Text File” page via the Satellite phone
Saturday, 22 February 2014, 1200 hrs
Expecting the wind to die off Sunday morning and turn to coming from the North in the afternoon. Hopefully for a calm and fast crossing of the straight.
