After all the problems with the engine and the prop shaft, I thought at least the weather would be kind, but today, the day I scheduled to leave, there is a north east gale warning! Its a pre frontal gale and once the front goes through later today, the wind should turn southerly. Tomorrow is forecast to be up to 35 knots from the south, but Friday it will have settled down to a nice 15 - 20 knots. So unless it settles down early, I won't be leaving until early Friday morning, but with a good southerly behind me I should be able to put a few miles behind me fairly quickly.
Panic this morning after spending my first night aboard, I couldn't find any clean undies. I've walked home to see if they inadvertently got left behind, but no. I have spoken to Chez in Sydney and she says they are on the boat somewhere. If I can't find them I'll have to buy a pack.
Spent this morning really getting boat tidied up and everything put away.

Bad news about the wind Dad! Hopefully it will settle so you can be on your way!
ReplyDeleteHad a bit of a giggle at the lack of undies, hehee, hope you found them or managed to get some! Look on the bright side, at least you discovered the missing garments while you were in the marina and not once you were out to sea. I dont think Aus post will deliver out there =)
Lots of love and good luck!!
