After a night and morning of relative peace, the wind is back and forecast to reach 30-40kts by early tomorrow morning. Three other yachts made a run for it in the break but we decided we would rather be here on this wind than hanging off the anchor over at three hummock island. Phil had a major win this morning when he continued to work on the autopilot. When he got it apart he found that the magnet that engages the clutch was not releasing. He tried various solutions to no avail and then hit on the idea of reversing the magnet as it has become polarised. It therefor released when it was reversed. So with the work done we had a closer look at Stanley's cute heritage buildings, the cemetery and museum. We have pretty much done the town now so the next few days might be a challenge. No picture with this blog as can't get it to load.

Vessel Name: Paseafique
Vessel Make/Model: Adams 44
Hailing Port: Hobson's Bay, Melbourne
Crew: Phil and Lesley
About: We have been racing and sailing as a couple for a number of years, including circumnavagating Tasmania in our previous boat Sandpiper.
Extra: I must go down to the seas again to the vagrant gipsy life, To the gull's way and the whales way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, and quite sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
