30 02 S, 153 17 E, Abeam of North Solitary Island. We topped up fuel in Coffs Harbour a couple of hours ago and are back underway again. Currently a nice sea breeze and clear warm skies. A Southerly is now moving up the coast and expect it will catch us up in the next 3-6 hrs. We will monitor the sea state as its forecast to be up to 30 Kts but hopefully the sea will not get too high allowing us to continue on to the Gold Coast without the need to shelter. All is well on board.

32 48 S, 152 25 E, 15 Nm south of Seal Rocks. All going well at 8-10 Kts over the ground. Lots of stars about combined with a bit of lightning to light the way whilst the moon is currently absent. Next stop Coffs for a fuel top up tomorrow, update around lunch time expected
1415 Hrs,
Newcastle YC fuel Dock. An error on the starboard fuel gauge caused a sudden change in fuel in that tank. Although we had only been running for 7 hours we thought a fuel top up and reset of electrics may solve the error. Unfortunately the starboard tank is still reading near empty but at least we know it not to be the case and therefore have a good estimate on consumption at the current rate of Revs.
