21 25 S, 150 20 E, Getting there, around 150 Nm to Airlie, currently approx 15 Nm North of Middle Percy Island and have been under sail since daylight (motor-sailing most of yesterday) Anyway that puts the ETA currently on Tuesday evening just in time before the crew start eating all the condiments. Enjoying the lovely weather, hopefully it will be clear back in Sydney when I return albeit a bit cooler I expect. All is fine.

22 51 S, 151 55 E, Currently around 70 Nm to the East of Yepoon, well out of regular phone reception so this is another post via satellite. Just enough wind to currently have the engine off with sails up so its nice to be a bit more on the quite side. Hopefully we can get up to 24 hrs assistance before the wind is predicted to drop off again to probably nothing. Anyway all is going well.

24 25 S 153 15 E, Just at the northern tip of Fraser Island at Breaksea Spit. Just had border force fly over us and call us up, unusual this far south. Still looks like we will be motoring for the next few days as there is very little wind predicted. All is well.

26 20 S, 153 11 E, 5 Nm NE of Noosa Heads. What a contrast to the conditions in NSW. Motoring along in light Westerly winds which should pick up through the day but the forecast for the next few days shows very calm condition’s. Sun is shining and a lovely day (Sorry Sydney and the Nth Coast)

27 24 S, 153 36 E, Moololaba here we come Just 3 Nm East of North Stradbroke Island. Another bumpy night but still making fantastic progress.

29 52 S, 153 20 E. We are now 5 Nm East of Woli Creek, that means we are in the Byron Bay forecast area now so only a strong wind warning for the morning not the gale warning expected here. Making great progress with an average of 6.7 kts for the last 24 hrs despite a southerly current of up to 1.5 Kts. Protected now a bit from the swell and sea state by the Solitary islands so enjoying calmer and dry conditions for now. All well and happy on board.
Sunday, 18 May 2025, 1400 Hrs
32 10 S, 152 43 E, Currently 10 Nm East of Forster making reasonable progress motor sailing with the wind directly aft at up to 25 Kts. We are hoping to stay ahead of the seas that are building but they shouldn’t get as much as the Sydney area the further north we can get in the next 24 hrs. Plenty of rain which would come as no surprise to those following. All is well update again tomorrow around lunchtime.
Saturday May 17 , 2025, 1830 hrs approx
Ready to go, a meal onshore provisioned etc.
Getting a start on the weather coming for this coast. Hope to be far enough north to avoid the seas that are expected to build. Updates around midday daily. Welcome aboard to Naeus again and Mario.
