[weather] Wind 15 kts SW, Swell less than 0.5m, 1015mb, 0% cloud cover
[status] Mixed bag yesterday. Some great lightwind sailing and then the northerly steadily built to 25 knots. Warm front passed over and we got 30-35kts for a period and then nothing at all. Kept switching NE, NW, back to NE. Had 1.5m NE swell as we were approaching wineglass bay and the wind kicked again to 30-35 from the NW. Wind would have been good for wineglass but swell would have made it horrible so we diverted into sleepy bay and got the anchor down using radar to measure our distance to shore at 10pm. Will stop by Wineglass Bay this morning as a coffee stop before heading to Bryan's corner in Schouten Passage to do the "Schouten Shuffle" for the changing winds in the next few days.
