After a few days in Jurien Bay anchored off town in very average conditions I moved north looking for a little more protection from the current winds. A quick sail and some 21 NM I headed into Green Head, the bay offered better protection but the wind was relentless with over 30 knots in the evening. I had some minor drama when the anchor bridle snapped at the height of the conditions. I was only able to get ashore once for a quick walk around town.

On the 23rd I headed up to Port Dennison and spent two night on the service jetty, this allowed one day to get off and walking into Dongera for a few fresh supplies. I had been having some issues with the engine cooling system so took time out to dismantle, clean and the reassemble-it now works!

Yesterday it was time to head for the Abrolhos, with perfect sailing conditions 90% of the way, as soon as I passed King Reef the Breeze went up to 20 knots. I sighted my first whale of the trip, a mere 20ft off my bow heading north. It was then a bash South to Middle Island where I am now at anchor. Seneschal is also here but as I type she is setting off for the trip south.
