Day’s Run: 177 nm

For the last twenty four hours we have been able to run wing on wing continuously before a fresh to strong south-west breeze making for an excellent day’s run. We are now round the south-eastern corner of Australia, back in New South Wales’ waters, heading north on a beam reach close into the coast so as to enjoy a more comfortable sail in the relatively calm seas. Strong winds are forecast to continue so I am looking to post another good run tomorrow though likely not as good as today’s.
