[status] Date & Time of Report: 15 Oct 2015 05:00 The Magic Passage to Oz Continues! OK, we missed Bundaberg. But the winds and weather favoured Brisbane, so why not make for Brisbane? Or even Newcastle? It looks like these lovely conditions will hold, so we raked the sand and wrote a new plan - Newcastle will be our Port of Entry. About 3 hours ago the wind dropped to 6-8kts, so we're motoring on a glassy surface. Sunrise will probably stir things up a bit. Maybe we'll hoist the sails then. A few showers on radar. One gave Mersoleil a quick bath, the others have stepped aside to allow her to pass.
