The trip up the harbour to PILGRIM new home at River Quays was pleasant enough and by about 13:00 we were ashore, rushing headlong back into the real world and our dreams of what’s next!
Grazie Mille - PILGRIM Out!

Finito!
8th Nov 2010
We woke to a beaut day and were off at 06:00 for an idyllic run down the northern beaches and into Sydney Heads. Just to cap off the day we saw yet another whale putting on a great display just off North head; It was almost as if this was recompense for yesterday.

Regrettable!

We have been trying to get home for a week but even so, with today’s forecast ‘reasonable’ it wasn’t a pushed decision to go but we struck pretty horrible conditions. Not huge or wild, just lumpy with crossing seas and swell and wind all over the place with passing storms. Progress was fair at about 5.5 kts but after nearly 13 hrs of this we headed into Pittwater for the night, just 18 nm shy of Sydney.
A regrettable conclusion if we had made Sydney so maybe a good nights rest and a short hop tomorrow will give us the ‘good last day’ I was hoping for.
