Itinerary
12 October 2011 | Albany Western Australia
Sue Watt
We will leave Albany, depending on weather – any day from 17th – 20 th October
This is our plan at this point, though of course it is totally subject to change depending on weather, enjoying a place, hearing from locals as we travel, other places to stop that are beautiful etc etc!
Day 1 – sail to Two People’s bay drop anchor for night;
Day 2 – sail to Bremer Bay – tie up at marina for night;
Day 3 – sail to Investigator Island – anchor for night;
Day 4 – sail into Esperence – tie up at dock - stay here 1 or 2 days;
Day 6 – sail to Middle Island in the Archipelago of the Recherche – stay here 2 or 3 days – it’s very beautiful;
Day 8 – sail across the Bight to Port Lincoln – we expect, with good winds to take 8 days – with not so helpful winds, up to 14 days or more – we have supplies for 1 month so it’s not a drama either way; We will stop at Port Lincoln for a few days to rest and restock;
Can’t put a day anymore so let’s use the term stop instead of day….
Stop 9 – sail from Port Lincoln to Victor Harbour tie up at wharf for night;
Stop 10 – sail to Robe – this area is very lovely and we will stay a few days here;
Stop 11 – sail to Portland – we will be in Victoria now – tie up at marina for night;
Stop 12 – Sail to Apollo Bay – drop anchor for night;
Stop 13 - Sail to Philip Island – hope to see Penguins – drop anchor for night;
Stop 14 – sail to Wilsons Promontory – pick up mooring for night;
Stop 15 – sail to Eden – this will be a day/ night sail as it’s quite a way – tie up at wharf for 1 -2 days;
Stop 16 – sail to Bermagui – we will stop here for a week or two – tie up at marina;
Stop 17 – head to either Bateman’s Bay if they can get us a mooring or Ulladulla harbour if they can’t.
We are so excited about being so close to heading off - its been wonderful to have had such a long time to prepare - but we are all itching to get going now....
