Port Davey to Dover

Bye bye Bathurst Harbour  0803 hrs



So we departed under a cold  grey depressed sky. The day would only get colder!

Tasmania in the summer.
K'Gari in the Roaring Forties .

Lets go home to the land of sarongs and shorts .



East Pyramids - 1049hrs getting warmer -not!


The forecast was that 20kts plus of SW'ly was coming, so the sooner we were back east of SE Cape and out of the predicted swell sweeping in from the Southern Ocean the better.

SW Cape 1216hrs- positively sure as its midday the temperature has peaked !
Wonder if we have reached double digits yet?

1853 hrs -so much better! Of course it is, I'm inside!

2000hrs:Love these long evenings, wonder how much colder it will get after sunset?


















The forecast  front and associated wind arrived  right on cue as we anchored in Recherche Bay.
As we approached to anchor, the wind and rain picked up and we sat as snug as little bugs with 50m of chain out on our magnificent 55lb Rocna in 32kts plus of wind. That anchor is worth every cent! Yes it got colder but once we were anchored we were inside and warm and dry.
