Been living the "Perth dream" on a boat at Parker Point, rottnest. Surrounded by stink pots, but it's a nice spot. Had a good run up and made it in just before dark on Sunday....most of the way in

Underway to Rottnest Island for what is our last 100 mile run for quite a while, at a guess. Hard not to be a little misty eyed watching the new moon rise with the sun this morning and contemplate

Anchored off Dunsborough town this morning watching the front go through. Just started raining. Pretty smooth last night in the WNW wind - kinda good to experience what it's like along this coast

Had a good run up to Bunker Bay yesterday and arrived to blue skies, , turquoise water and a long white beach. No wonder you have to put down $5m to own a house here. Shame someone got taken by a

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

Lovely downwind sail around Cape Leeuwin for the rest of the day....Had code 0 out for most of the day and got in by 3pm. Lots of easter crowds on the beach so feels like we have landed in the

Was great to catch up with Steve, Chris and Edward yesterday and the day before. Shelter Island is a rare treat on the south coast for pretty much all round protection from wind and swell. Perhaps

Finally left Albany after a good week of town time while the remnants of TC Marcus disappeared off the weather map. Was also great to catch up with Katy, Brad and family. Even managed to bribe Kai

Moved into the town marina at Albany for a bit of town time. Greer has found some nice yoga classes, Kai is going to his first normal high school for 3 days with an old friend. Been great to catch

woops...forgot to update YIT for our Albany arrival :$! Had an uneventful end to the overnight passage with steady easterlies again, thankfully and a dying swell. Anchored off Ledge beach which was a

Left Esperance at 1pm yesterday in light winds and a solid 3.0m long period swell. Light winds were comfortable but combined with the swell coming towards us made it fairly sloppy and uncomfortable

Woops....had forgotten to update YIT for Albany arrival ;$. Got in and anchored off Ledge Beach. Beautiful quiet beach with a little surge but nice not to head straight into a metropolis after

Left Brien's corner yesterday lunch time after a very scratchy bush bash to get to the top of the rocky peak above the anchorage. When will we learn that following a 14 yo's route will not lead to a

Left Lucky Bay just before lunchtime before the SW change arrived. Had a nice sail around Cape Le Grande and into O'Brien's Beach to pick up a mooring. Going for a walk this morning and then head

Parked in east end of Lucky Bay - apparently one of Australia's or the world's best beaches - although there are many around here that look about the same quality. It is a lovely spot, though. Can

Had a fantastic day with Shaggy, Georg and family. Morning windsurf with all the kids (Jaiya starting to nail her waterstarts!) and lunch on Tika. Really nice to catch up with people from the old

Had a marvellous 3 days of glorious weather, no swell and clear skies enjoying our "summer holiday" on Cape Arid. Brilliant turquoise water, interesting granite landscape and sand as white and fine

What a stunning place....WA really does have the best beaches in the world - and cape arid the best in WA. Coupled with a nuclear reinforced seabreeze to get the kids rocketing across turqoise water

In and anchor down! Great sail for the day and welcomed back into WA with the classic dry heat and a 30 knot seabreeze as we rounded Cape Arid. After not seeing one vessel for the entire passage

Great smooth sailing, with a lovely sunset to accompany dinner and the game of 500 last night. Gybed over to starboard tack in the morning and had the code 0 on windward hull until about midnight
