If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

[status] Safely at the clearance dock, Southport marina. Dolphin show at sunset capped off a fantastic passage, doing the bow riding thing, back jumps, spin jumps, synchronized jumps!
Slowed a bit for bar crossing after low tide, no breaking waves but some very steep ones, relieved to get in.

[status] A beautiful day of sailing to complete probably our most pleasant passage ever. We have had about a 2 knot push of current all day and, just for a change we took the pole down and have used our westing to give us a nice broad reaching angle. Saw our first ships in the Australian shipping channel this afternoon.
Just 45 miles to go now. We will probably arrive early hours of Friday morning and take on the Seaway entrance in the dark, hopefully with some moon assistance (swell is not too big).
