Leaving Queenscliff at 1700 hours, Friday, we ventured through Port Phillip Heads with ease but into some remaining fetch from recent strong sou' westerlies. As nighfall drew its curtain and the seas greyed, an eerie moon arose to provide some company. The next day brought us a friendly warmth and clear skys. Winds abated and continued on "on the nose" for most of the entire trip. A few ships, many dolphins, an oil platform, and another sail boat trying to catch us were our main observations. After berthhing at Beauty Point in the early hours of Sunday, we rested for a while and awoke to Nick's order to be on deck for bacon and eggs.
Having reviewed weather forecasts, it looks like we might be staying at Beauty Point until Thursday when favourable and fair winds are predicted.
