Leaving Apollo Bay with only 400 to go...
20 February 2013 | 38 47.30S 143 42.94E
The guys left Apollo Bay this morning with 400nm to go until they get to the Black Pole. They cleared Cape Otway and headed west with a stiff wind at their back.
When I spoke to Dave on Skype at about 8pm, the winds were around heading towards around 35 knots and there was a large swell. By tomorrow morning they should be in South Australian waters and may soon be able to fix the dunny (head, toilet... whatever you want to call it), because it's not working and an 'ablutions bucket' had to be purchased in Apollo Bay. Okay, I won't go into details and I don't want to think about it but don't expect me to actually want to keep that bucket when you get back!
More in the morning.
Cheers
Terry
