Sydney Harbour is spectacular and the massive cliffs standing at the Heads are a memorable gateway. We were excited to be heading out this morning on the final leg of our voyage to Melbourne.
Peter, our new crew member, was up very early this morning to get the first flight up from Melbourne. He brought with him our precious frozen dinners that Catherine prepared when back home. (George and Gigi were our food couriers on previous legs; thanks guys.) Frozen dinners are easy to reheat in the oven and minimises time in the galley while underway.
The rest of us had a great sleep and felt refreshed. Gigi and Leanne left for the airport and we prepared to depart as soon as Peter arrived. Catherine and Dino went to the supermarket, we topped up the diesel and were underway by 9:00.
We’ve had a very pleasant trip today and are making good time to Eden where we will stop briefly tomorrow to refuel. By late this afternoon we were approaching Jervis Bay.
We have seen a few whales and quite a number of dolphins. Some of the dolphins swam to meet us, leaping out of the water and playing around the bow of the boat.
Dinner is nearly ready. Tonight we’re having one of my favourites, a chicken and rice casserole.
