[status] Return to motoring after some off and on sailing over the last 24 hours. Dropped and secured the mainsail just off the continental shelf due to a looming (and quite spectacular) storm cell in our path. No real squalls hit us but better to be safe. The lightning show has now given way to some rain as we approach Bundaberg and a very rolly northerly swell in Hervey Bay. Only 13 miles to go to the beginning of the Bundy leads. We should hit the quarantine dock in daylight although it is still a very dark 3.30am right now. All that seems to be left of this stage of our adventure is to deal with the racing current of the Bundy river and the customs formalities. Sigh.

[weather) 5 knts variable, 0.5m swell from N, 100% cloud, 1015 baro
