Cruising on Destiny

Another light wind day, motor-sailing from Coaster's to Newcastle Harbour. We look likely to be going to Coffs in short hops, grabbing wind as we can, and not in one big leg. So be it - tomorrow we'll probably sit tight here and head for Nelson Bay Wednesday.
We set off about 07:30 today from Coastrer's Retreat in company with Pete and Lizzie on "Windana", a nice Roberts steelie. They got in to Newcastle a little before us and were there to take our lines as we pulled into our berth beside theirs. They are nice, down-to-earth people and we may end up seeing some more of them as we head North.

Hailing Port:	Sydney, Australia
Crew:	John and Shauna
About:	People ask us: "Are you semi-retired?". Well no, we're semi-working. We love cruising, but the problem is we also quite like what we do in our civilian lives. So, for the last few years, we have been cruising over the southern Winter and Spring. [...] More
Extra:	Our last severalyears of cruising have been spent exploring New Caledonia and the beautiful islands of Vanuatu, an entrancing country with wonderful, uncomplicated, happy and generous people. This winter we are at home doing some upgrades - navigation, rigid cockpit cover, watermaker and sundry [...] other big dollar tasks. We're off again next Autumn but we will keep you informed with reasonably regular blog posts. More

Sunshine on blue water, twelve knots on the beam.... The trades are blowing gently and we're sailing like a dream..... Sipping from the cup of life and getting mostly cream....
