Smooth sailing to Southport

We’ve had a wonderful trip from Sydney up the NSW coast. We have enjoyed mild weather, light winds, slight seas, and sunshine for the last 2 days. We are on track to be in Southport early Sunday morning.

Catherine has kept the crew very well fed, with roast lamb, penne bolognese, toasted sandwiches, and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.

David has been busy taking footage of this adventure. Looking forward to another entertaining home movie.

Andrew has been an ever reliable 2IC, plotting courses, keeping Debonnaire on track and setting sails to maximise our speed.

Brian has teamed up with Phil on his watches, doing more than his fair on the helm, while Phil keeps his eye on navigation, weather, fuel, and the keel bolts.
