The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.

[s]On the home strait, 140nm to go to Coffs. Course a bit north for Coffs
but expecting a day of northerly winds which should give us the southing we
need. Sun and some blue sky appeared for the first time in two days. All
well on board, looking forward to making landafall tomorrow morning.[END]

At 4pm yesterday we sat on the bow steps drinking coke with lime, talking about how beautiful the sailing was - blue skies, flat seas, and just enough wind to keep us cranking with the full sail plan. We then discussed when we would put in the third reef for the coming storm (something we added to let us reduce the sail area a lot for stormy weather).

[status] 12-15 SSE Winds and motoring at 4.00 knots into it, so not that comfortable. COG 175m. 3 mtr SE swells and cloudy skies. Both OK but a tad tired - a few days to go yet.
