North of Perth
20 March 2015 | Jurien Bay
After a quick stopover in Freo to sit out a NWester, the predicted was for good conditions to head north. 24 hours later after a bumpy day and night I took some respite in Jurien. I was hoping to enjoy a few coastal spots along the way but the 3m swell made the alternatives not that attractive. It was a quick ride most of the way at around 7knots (SUF - Sea Urchin Fast) which for a overloaded small boat is not that bad. The crew (more on IT later) stayed below enjoying reruns of The Block. After a break I headed ashore to stretch the legs and the first person I see is from Mandurah! We have a few days of around 25 - 30 knots coming up so time to find a better anchorage as the current one has the swell at 90 degrees to the swell, so when you go to sleep it feels as if you are being massaged by some big Russian woman!
