loutres de mer.

[status] Left Papeete yesterday around noon, bound for Apataki. Predicted E15 winds turned out to be NE20's; they've eased but are still from the direction we want to go. We recall that one definition of sailing is going slowly in the wrong direction! That said, it's a lovely day to be out on the ocean.

[status]Skipper?s wife is back on board and enjoying some one on one time with her intrepid sailor husband.( Actually I?m incredibly proud of the old sea dog who looks younger than he did a year ago.)
Arriving in Sydney airport I was chauffeured up the coast to pretty Port Stephens by Leroy and Janet who kindly delivered me to Nelson Bay Marina.
A pleasant Italian dinner was enjoyed with the Gordon?s , Bill who was farewelling the boat and some other friends.

[status]Just a brief note to say that we arrived in Coffs Harbour early on the 16th and after clearing in to the country enjoyed a couple of days in their seriously upgraded marina.
The clearance process was easy and only involved two members of the ABF who ?multi tasked? all aspect of the process ( ie Customs, Quarantine and Immigration).
Mike was able to leave Ambler in good time to catch a flight home.
