We had a well-earned rest overnight at Twofold Bay. At 0600 this morning we woke and got underway, motorsailing up the coast. The predicted headwinds didn't eventuate so we are making great time. I gave a Sail Theory lecture that was interrupted by a wayward...
After a calm night we emerged from Bass Strait and arrived off Gabo Island and shortly thereafter entered New South Welsh waters. We've spent three days at sea now, so we decided to have a break and head for Eden. The going has been good...

After I handed Command of Young Endeavour to Patrick, 23, of Queanbeyan and Voyage 17/00, the YC decided to make haste and we sailed from the anchorage in record time. Soon we left The Nut far behind and were up to 6 knots on our...
