Mustang Sally Cruising - LHI here we come

LHI here we come

Mustang Sally Cruising

Mark Lawrence & Dianne Jackson

Thu 12 May 2016 00:04

Well we are finally on our way *YAY*

Our current position is in the Tasman Sea at 33:06.40S 153:50.12E

Everything started off very calm yesterday morning however by nightfall there was plenty of wind and lots of bumps so a bit of an uncomfortable night on board Sally. We have also been pushing a bit of current which is making the bumps even bigger and slowing us down a bit but the weather forecaster tells us we should have some more favourable current and a bit less wind later on today.

Other than all is well on Sally. Apparently we only have 275NM to go.
