We managed to leave on a lovely sunny afternoon, as planned, with a mild breeze. Lots of well wishers to see us off. By Fawkner beacon, we had changed down to a small staysail and reefed the main, and it was directly on the nose of course. After 5 hrs of being sluiced with water on a steep & unfamiliar angle, we entered Mornington Harbour just on dark. An enjoyable dinner of Lasagne and a big sleep.
Monday was light and we made some repairs to the autopiolt during the morning, leaving at Midday. Again it was of course again southerly, so still directly where we were heading, but after 5 more hrs, we picked up a mooring at Portsea, and settled into discussion about weather reports and conditions in Bass Strait. Thats still the current activity, whilst making some dinner, so keep watching this page...
