[status] Had another great sail and motor around yesterday in light SE winds. A bit sloppy around SW cape, but managed to sail for most but 1.5 hours with code 0 up. Had a beautiful clear afternoon again and so arrived in Port Davey being able to see the Western Arthurs in the background....side note - could see the Eastern Arthurs and Federation peak 42 km away the previous day as we passed New River Lagoon and Precipitous Bluff in the foreground. Russ still has Federation Peak earmarked as a prize to capture for his 50th - having first seen (ie teased by) the peak when walking the Western Arthurs for his 40th :). Anchored off Carvers Point in Payne Bay, so we could do the dinghy trip up the Davey River to the Davey River Gorge - did this yesterday with a late picnic lunch and it didn't disappoint. Cloudless sky yesterday evening for sunet, made us think we were back in WA already - but today has convinced us otherwise :$. Will go into Bathurst Harbour this morning and pick out a nice spot to hang out and do school until the weather clears again wed/ thur for some walking.
