Monday, 6 January 2025, 0400 Hrs
Arrived at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania. Thank you very much Dinah and of course Shore Crew Suzie. Will try to post more photos in the coming days.
Sunday, 5 January 2025, 1200 Hrs
42 26 S 148 22 E, Just 5 Nm to the South of Schoutin Island on Tasmanian lower east coast. Looking good to beat tomorrows southerly up the Derwent for a morning arrival in Hobart. Will unfortunately miss seeing the stunning coast from Tasman Island and across storm Bay. Will update again as we approach Hobart.
Saturday, 4 January 2025, 1200 Hrs
39 54 S, 147 42 E, 5 Nm off the Western tip of Flinders Island. Its hard to tell with the slight extra distance we are taking on the inside, but it looks like we may make the Banks Strait exit into the Tasman with the assistance of the tide. The wind from the NE is starting to drop and the water is now comfortably smooth. Had another great 24 hr run downwind with an average just over 7 Kts speed.
Tomorrow morning should see a light but short lived Southerly on the Upper East Coast which hopefully wont see us slow too much to get across storm Bay before the next South winds on Monday morning. All is well.
This is sunset, 1700 rpm and doing 10.3 KTS. Sometimes you gotta love the 
tide
Friday, 3 January 2025, 1200 Hrs
37 39 S, 149 52 E, Good bye Gabo Island, around 6 Nm to the North of us. Currently a 15kt NE wind which is expected to build a little but currently perfect sea and wind conditions to put some miles behind us. Our course is for the Northern tip of Flinders Island and will choose a course to Hobart based on updated forecasts. All is well update tomorrow.
0545 Hrs
Leaving Eden. Weather has cleared from a Southerly to variable with a NE expected to build over the next day or so. There is a good chance we will keep to the West of Flinders Island for a calmer sea state but will be dependant on the weather updates.
Note most reports may be via the sat phone for the next few days so you may need to refresh to the sites “Home Page”

36 15 S, 150 11 E, 2nm to the West of Montague Island. Have had a great run overnight but now slowed by S-SE winds and a few bumps. Current forecasts are showing a good run across Bass Strait from Thursday afternoon. We are planning to stop in Bermagui tonight and then move on to anchor in Eden whilst a southerly blows through tomorrow. Will update when parked.

33 50 S, 151 18 E, Leaving Sydney Heads. Took longer than hoped for those last minute jobs but are now on our way to Hobart. Fuel topped up, provisioned and aiming for the South Coast.

Sunday, 13 August 2023, 0900 Hrs
32 45 S, 152 13 E, Off Port Stephens entrance. A Light (still) westerly so motor sailing in the right direction. We have just topped up the fuel tank and have sufficient to avoid putting in to Nelson bay so are expecting an early morning arrival at the CYCA Sydney tomorrow. Will update after arrival. Shame it looks like the fine warm weather has finally left us.
Saturday, 12 August 2023, 0900 Hrs
31 02 S, 153 08 E, Currently off Kempsey motor sailing in light variable winds. Stopped off to briefly fill the fuel tank last night in Coffs, Nothing else to report except its very pleasant weather despite the low wind and hence boat speed. All’s well.
Friday, 11 August 2023, 0830 Hrs
29 23 S, 153 35 E, Currently 10 Nm East of Yamba and making good progress under engine only. The wind started off in the NE after leaving Southport and has gradually backed around to the SW and is expected to continue to back further through the day through to the SE at only 10 Kts. This means we will continue to be motoring for the next 24 hrs so are planning a quick stop in Coffs Harbour to top up fuel and continue underway this evening. All is well on board.
Thursday, 10 August 2023, 1715 Hrs
Leaving Southport Yacht Club slightly delayed whilst attaching the Autopilot to the helm so the daylight is fading but at least everything is in order. Update again in the morning.

Hi Crew
Just a reminder that passport details below need to be submitted by the 15th, just a few days away. Even if you are unsure or perhaps as things do change its worth submitting the details below just in case !
Previous message follows:-
Its a few months off but for those interested in this delivery I need to have a crew list submitted in a couple of weeks. The information required needs to be sent to me ASAP for anyone who wishes to be considered for this trip
The boat is competing in the Fremantle to Bali Race in May organised by the Fremantle Sailing Club.
The Indonesian Authorities and the Fremantle sailing club require a crew list well in advance (due in a couple of weeks time)
Without significant extra costs it is difficult to add any names to this required list at a later date so all possible crew for the race and delivery back need to be nominated early.
Details of the delivery of this boat back from Bali in 2013 can be found here:- http://crew.yachtdeliveries.com.au/index.php/2013/06/bali-to-fremantle/
I hope this answers all your questions
Regards, Peter
FAQ
Hi Peter,
I received your email concerning this delivery/race. Thank you for thinking of me.
Is this a delivery back from Bali to Fremantle after the race?
OR
Race crew that is required to sail back to Fremantle after winning the race to Bali?
Reply
Hi, yes this is for the delivery back. I think the race crew has been selected by the owner however someone could pull out so if the paperwork I requested is submitted it would make it easier to select last minute race crew from the delivery crew list. Cheers, Peter
Thank you to all who were able to submit their passports and Next of Kin details for the upcoming Bali to Fremantle delivery. These details have now been submitted to the Fremantle Sailing Club for submission to the relevant authorities.
I will keep you all advised in the coming weeks, Thank you all again for the fantastic response. Best regards, Peter
