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.

Time to head back south, first stop Lindeman Isl.

Hayman Island.

Hasle Wood Island for the day. Expecting high winds starting tomorrow so will be heading back to Nara Inlet.

New anchorage - Sid Island.

Back to Airlie for a few days while the wind is blowing too hard to enjoy other anchorages.

Spent the week in Shute Harbor to have protection from the north winds.

Turtle Bay on Withsunday. Spent the day at Whitehaven Beach with its white, smooth sand.

Can't find the name of this bay, but it's on Withsunday Island.

Back to Nara Inlet for the rain/wind forecasted.

Bait Reef in the Great Barrier Reef. Got to snorkel today. I've seen better and seen worse.

The GREAT BARRIER REEF. Looking forward to seeing what's below the water.

Nice sail from Cid Harbor to Border Island.

At Macona Inlet, Hook Island. Here for 1 night then moving on to Sid Harbor and try to rendezvous with Outsider.

Stonehaven on Hook Island. Bullets (AU for wind gust over mountain) are a nuisance, going to try another anchorage.

Bullets aren't as bad as Stonehaven, but these **** swells are worse. Unless I can move to a different part of this anchorage I'll be moving to another anchorage.

Nara Inlet, Hook Island. Been here a couple days, nice anchorage except for cock-a-too pooping everywhere.

Outside Coral Sea Marina for the weekend.

Cid Harbour, Whitsunday Island.

Another nice sail to Shaw Island.

Light wind sail to Goldsmith Island. Saw a humpback mother and calf having fun as I approached.

Nice sail from MacKay to Brampton Island. Will be here for a day or two.
