Our planned overnight stay in Strahan after leaving the Gordon River was put on hold after some contact with the fleet as we made our way back down Macquarie Harbour. The weather pattern was moving faster than expected and an opportunity to leave on Saturday evening had opened. Our plans changed, we headed straight for the fuel dock at Strahan, arriving around 1630hrs. Nick and David refueled, filled the water tanks and the cellar whilst Mavis, Rosie and Sally headed to the supermarket to reprovision- something of a dash all around!
We departed around 1745 keen to make the most of daylight to exit Hells Gates. the visibility was poor, low cloud and rain. We were met with a souwesterly swell of 2 m and little wind, so motorsailed overnight in sloppy conditions and arrived at Port Davey,anchoring at Schooner Bay early afternoon.
