We made the 180 nm trip overnight with good conditions, not much wind at first but under sail by the time it got dark. Quite a few yachts on passage S and also big ships, some whales and also a multitude of dolphins – they disappeared when the camera came out. Ever since there have been strong S winds and big seas forecast.

Hope to leave tomorrow to go to Pittwater and Sydney. Have been busy arranging for Timshel to stay here while we fly home over Christmas.
