38 43 S, 145 13 E, Around 12 Nm South of Phillip Island. Getting close but we were not quite close enough to make slack water at the Port Phillip Rip. We have slowed down and waiting for the wind to swing more south and delay our arrival at the rip until at least 2000 hrs meaning arrival in Geelong in the very early hours of Wednesday. After a lovely sunny morning we are looking at some damp weather ahead. (must be too close to Melbourne)

38 44 s, 147 16e ,30 Nm East of Port Albert Vic, all well

37 03 S, 150 12 E, Around 15 Nm East of Eden. Finally the sun is out giving us a chance to dry out our very wet weather gear. Hopefully we are leaving that weather to the North of us. We had a brief call into Ulladulla yesterday afternoon to top up fuel and a quick catch up with an old friend there before pushing on through the rain. Please disregard comments about a Northerly current of JB. The problem has been corrected as the boat speed was reading 20 % higher than it actually was leading to the error.

35 02 S, 150 54 E, 5 Nm North of Point perpendicular, We have just altered course slightly allowing some sails to be set as we head towards Ulladulla to top up on fuel before continuing on. Quite slow since leaving Sydney as the current has been running North at up to 2 kts. Very surprising as it always heads south particularly this close to Jervis Bay. Updates again tomorrow.
