Well I'm finally off on my travels again, bit of a delayed start due to winds from the wrong direction, but finally departed port macquarie marina at 0715 this morning.
First leg is always a bit daunting, especially after a break of nearly 2 years. had to start to get the feel of the boat and all her idiosyncracies again.
beautiful day, sunshine all day, but winds died off a bit at lunch time and I had to start the iron mainsail.
currently at anchor in trial Bay with about 4 other yachts, all heading north.
Only problem so far is that my new socket for my shower doesn't work so coyuldn't have a shower, it was back to washing in a bowl again. Will try and fix it when I have a day off in iluka, hopefullyt, on Thursday
