[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.
This afternoon we dodged a few ships and saw dolphins for the first time in ages. Welcome to Australia, always a good omen we think.
