[status] Safely at the quarantine dock at Southport Yacht Club.
The bar crossing was no problem although we were surprised by the current still flowing out half hour after low. Thought the tide station was in the seaway but it?s obviously inside.

[status] Decision made, we are stopping at the Gold Coast. In fact we are just 14 miles from the seaway. Should arrive at around low tide and seaway tower assures me the bar will be okay. Hope so, because we are crossing it in the dark!
It?s been a day of good wind and good current. Had poled out jib for some time but mostly two sail reaching. Reefs have gone in and out and headsail furled and unfurled as the wind strength fluctuated.
