Approaching Queenscliffe!
31 March 2013 | Near Warnambool Vic

Well it certainly paid off to pull into Portland Harbour and let the storm pass by yesterday. This morning the boys set off with a much calmer sea, grey skies but decent wind in the right direction.
They are currently sailing past Warnambool, and have passed by the pretty Port Fairy without stopping. During the later part of the evening and night they should be rounding Cape Otway, and they will and are looking forward to pulling into Port Philip Bay around mid day tomorrow and tying up at Queenscliffe marina.
This next leg in their journey to Auckland has certainly been easier than their last and while I don't think they will be nearly as exhausted when they arrive in Queenscliffe as when they arrived in Robe, we hope that the surprise that will be awaiting them will be a little bit of a reward for their hard work so far.
I do love surprises and as surprises go this certainly will be a good one - and tomorrow I should be able to say here what it is!
