[status] DAY 6 PASSAGE FROM NEW CALEDONIA TO BUNDABERG
We are safely anchored in the Burnett River in Bundaberg ... arriving in the dark and too late to either clear in or go to our Marina berth.
It was somewhat of a boisterous sail at times last night with 20+ knots of wind and a very confused sea. Fortunately no height in the waves to speak of.
The auto pilot decided to play up in the latter part of the journey so we hand steered for the last 8 hours - mostly into the wind on a fairly flat sea ... so no big drama. (Apart from the $$$ signs we both see).
We were welcomed to the Australian coast by a dolphin escort ..and look forward to an unbroken nights sleep!
