Our sail through Banks Strait went so well, we deciced to continue and not stop at Foster Inlet. At 2150 hours on Thursday 5th (Day 9) a viabration was felt while motor sailing. Suspected of being a piece of kelp or comercial fishing line, the motor was reversed and tried at different revs. in an effort to dislodge what may have been caught. With some success we continued on but every now and then the viabration returned.
We turned south and began our sail down the east coast with southerly winds turning north westerly as predicted. Into Day 10 allowed full down wind sailing at 7 plus knots, passing Wineglass Bay, Freycinet and Schouen Passage. As winds abated, we again motor sailed, with the viabration continuing.
We deployed anchor in Shoal Bay of Maria Island at 2200 hours and slept soundly.
