Thought we would depart Captain Cooks departure bay and head SW to
Catherines cove in very guty NW winds. As we came around the point we
got hit with 48knots of wind which almost stopped us, turned us side on
and nearly flipped the dinghy. While I was stopping the dinghy flipping
dani was wrestling with the steering trying to bring the boat back into
the wind. 4knts speed down to 1.2knts and side on in a matter of
seconds. This morning at the previous anchorage we went on a walk to th
top of D'Urville. Would be a great 4wd track and even better mountain
bike track (down hill only)! It was pretty steep in places and we even
found an abandoned motorbike halfway up just before an insanely steep
rocky bit. I think the wind is getting stronger over the next days which
should be fun! Have attached a few random pictures from the last couple
of days.
