[status] Delightful sail up the scenic surf coast around Margaret River. Lovely long period SW'ly rollers added to the textxure and nice to look along all the surf breaks in the area. Coming into Gracetown looked a little sporty from the outside with fishermen's leads taking you in between two breaking reefs, but was tame once inside and looks far less daunting from the inside! On a friend's mooring in what is a lovely little west australian town full of surf character. A right hander straight behind us and "lefties" (a big left hander) on the south headland are nice backdrops yet the anchorage is surprisingly smooth and comfortable in here. They say this place is actually safe even in large swells and westerly quadrant winds. All the same, will probably move on Saturday when there are forecast westerlies at midday after catching up with some friends in the area.
