With a Southerly predicted for Tuesday evening we decided to head off at 2300hrs with the aim of being tucked up in Coffs by dusk on Tuesday.
Our regular escort of whales became alot more crowded than usual with sightings of around 2 dozen heading south in different pods just after sunrise.Heavy following seas made things pretty exciting particularly as the sun was setting approaching Coffs. On arriving we discovered Wild Oats XI at anchor near the pier and were advised by Marine Rescue to anchor between the pier and the breakwater to the inner harbour.
20 minutes later, BOOM the Southerly arrived. We were happy to be there.
We moved into the Marina the following morning to prepare for the final leg of our voyage.
What a view from Mutton Bird Island?
