Arrived in Port Lincoln after a very pleasant sail from Wedge Island.  Only had 10 knots of wind and

Scarlet managed 6.5 knots over the ground – not bad laden with 1000 litres of water and 1000 litres

of fuel (well minus a few days anyway).

 

The boys got the beautiful red asymmetrical sail up which helped with the light winds.

  

Taking the helm in very pleasant           Bryce holding on to that kite!

conditions

 

Bryce tried his hand at a spot of fishing last night, but they all just swam in and looked

at his lure and swam away. (It might have helped if he had some bait?).

 

A bit of spring cleaning and more provisioning on Scarlet today in PL (yes, more food!!) ready for our 4-5 days across the Bight. 

Leaving in the morning for probably Daw or Middle Island in the Recherche Archipelago of Esperance.

We are off to the Marina Hotel Bar for dinner tonight (all of 20 steps from the boat).  Tracy’s plane is arriving late, so won’t

see her till around 8.30pm tonight.

Some nibblies before dinner .................................                    Scarlet at her berth in Port Lincoln (excuse

                                                                                                  the washing hanging all over her)
