March 2018...

We had everything that could possibly be thrown at us. Our first departure was aborted when 35-40kt headwinds made our timing inside Stradbroke Is too slow and we missed the high tide through Jacobs Well. So another attempt the following day meant getting through safely with no concerns. Overnight at Gold Coast then early start out through the Seaway into very choppy seas and encountered several breaking waves. About 10 miles out this abated to near perfect conditions for the next 3 days and into Sydney but not without a major electrical storm off Newcastle!

Thank you to my champion crew mate Ray who did a fantastic job and as always great company.
