Heading off at 07:30 we started out on what was to become and near perfect day. At the very beginning we were greeted by a large old loggerhead turtle, a sign we took to be a positive precursor to the whale spotting efforts which were assigned a priority today. Alas, no whales but the sail itself was near perfect with a 15 kts reach achieving 6. to 7 kts in the almost calm waters of northern Hervey bay. With the arrival of a sea breeze in the afternoon, I reluctantly fired up the Yanmar to keep us moving at a reasonable pace for our arrival at Bunddy and this proved to be eventless and simple with us secured to a berth in time for a walk and a few cleanup jobs.
