Made it to Prince of Wales marina this morning. Got off the boat and touched ground for first time in Tassie.

2nd rest stop in Tasy on the way to Hobart.

Motor sailing to Pt. Arthurs, ETA 1930.

Decided to stop at Wineglass Bay for a good night sleep.

Welcome to the Roaring 40's; Had several hours of winds >30 knots with periods >40 knots. None of this was in the forecast.

Wind picked up to low 20's around 1100, forecast to last until tomorrow night.

Departed Eden at 0600. Species count: Dolphin, Albatross, & Shearwater

Made it to Eden ~2130. Wind was good and I sailed all the way after turning off motor.

On the way to Tasmania, first stop Eden. Been motoring for 7 hours since departing Sydney at 0900. Hopefully the wind will last until Wed morning.

Got my spot in Farm Cove for NYE Fireworks show.

Made it to Sydney just before dark. Moved to Blackwattle Bay Saturday morning.

Had good current yesterday 2-4 knots. Thus I'll be getting to Sydney sooner. Plan is to anchor in Quarantine Bay then move to Blackwattle on Saturday. ETA to Q bay 0000.

Motoring since leaving Coffs Hbr. At least it's not raining.

Made it to Coffs Harbour at the crack of dawn. Yesterday the winds came from the south at 20+ knts, then after sunset the winds were <5 knts. Which meant I motored all night.

Things were going fairly well with favorable current up to 2.5 knots, until the wind switched to the south to 20+ knots. It has started to ease and the forecast calls for it to switch as well.

Light winds but I should still make Coffs Sat morning.

Getting ready to depart Scarborough for a 2 day sail to Coffs Harbour.

Overnight sail from Gladstone to Pelican Bay.
