Regrettable!

7th Nov 2010

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.
