[status] Finally got around to a YIT update! Had a good few days in Victor Harbour. Had to swap west side of causeway to east side of causeway depending on winds, but a great stop in a nice regional centre with lots of old buildings and history from the old Murray River trading days. With more time, it would be fun to go up the Coorong and park off Goolwa.
Kids got a sleepover to catch up with old cruising friends from Jade and we also caught up with hiking friends (Craig and Wendy) who live there. Left on Sunday and had a bouncy start but ultimately a fast and smooth run to Cape Jarvis where we dropped Craig, Luke and Sturt off in less than ideal conditions. Instead of continuing on to Coffin Bay we pulled into ISland Beach on Kangaroo Island which was absolutely idyllic....then on a mooring in American River the last two nights as the wind clocked to the north and came in last night. Our window tomorrow to cross the bite has shut, so figured we may as well top up on fresh stuff in Kingscote and enjoy cruising this sparse and beautiful island. Off to Kinscote today and then possibly anchorage at Western River if time allows
