Unlike Tuesday, today was a good day. Started off with a light southerly and about half way it freshened and backed to the north east, so I was able to make good time. I consider anything above a VMG of 5 knots to be good and today it was 5.1. The bar was a bit frisky coming in, but not as bad as some I’ve done.

I’m now at anchor in Iluka Harbour and intend leaving here at day break for another 12 hour trip to Coffs Harbour. Hope tomorrow is as good as today.

Have just checked weather for next 2 days and it is superb, north/north easterlies both days up to 15 knots; great sailing conditions.
