We finally made it! After nearly 3 weeks waiting
for a break in the weather and finding a location for FKv in Perth, Craig and I
set off at 1330hrs on Sunday 21 and headed for Fremantle. We were lucky to start
with a 15-18kt northwester which pushed us down the coast at close to 8kts. This
gradually backed towards the south, but never went beyound SSW so were had a
fairly quick run down the coast. the last 6 hrs was quite wet and lumpy with the
wind getting close to 30kts. we were down to 3 reefs and a tiny bit of headsail.
We pulled into a pen in Northport Fremantle at 1830hrs.
32:02.91S, 115:43.99E
We will stay here until the mast is removed for
hinging, and the gearbox repaired, then motor up the river, under the bridges to
RFBYC where a mooring awaits us.
