The Pacific Expressway
24 October 2012 | Coffs to Port Stephens Overnight
Wayne
The Pacific Expressway - Who needs dual carriageway when you have a combination of a tailing sea and wind, the East Australian Current and a clear moonlit night to travel through. This morning I woke at 7:30 am at the end of my second 4 hour shift of sleep to the sun streaming down on the beaches of the Broughton Islands just to the north of Port Stephens. Overnight we had covered what the "sched" had planned would take two and a half days. We bashed our way out of Coffs just before 3 pm into a gentle giant of a rolling swell knowing that the further south we headed the better the conditions. Very quickly we realised that the conditions would allow us to travel at night and possibly make Port Stephens by lunch time today. Switch on the overdrive and four to five hours ahead of schedule we are now heading south to Broken Bay. All being well today should be our last day of ocean travel in our epic journey.
