1200NZT / 1000EST ~ Land
Sited!! A pretty uneventful night a slight wind on the
nose not helping!! thatâs not usual really. pleasant enough watches they were
all pretty calm and pleasant. This morning around 0800 NZT 0600 EST yacht time
we spotted land it was St Georges Head NSW, we are still at the moment heading
inshore to get into the shallower water and the east coast current. If we bare
off now we are faced the fact that the only time we will hit the current is
about 30 nms off Eden as the coast line here drops away to the SW here and as it
can increase the yacht speed up to 2 knts I donât want to miss it for the sake
of a 9 nms hitch into the shore line. Plus the fact that we will get mobile
phone coverage closer
in. At present our probable ETA in Eden is around
