Mandurah

31 August 2007
After a very windy day at Rottnest I set out for the final sail to Mandurah, there was still a large swell running but with reasonably favourable winds I was able to make the bottom of Warnbro Sound before turning over the Yanmar for the final miles. The Urchin is now in her pen and all clean, I have removed the ton of equipment so her waterline is now showing again. The trip south covered 2154 NM with 1622 NM being solo at an average speed of around 4.3 knots, considering a lot of the conditions were relatively light that isn't to bad for a little yacht. Now the Urchin is going to participate in the local MOFSC cruising and racing and spending her time between Rottnest and other local cruising spots, Riley, the yachts true skipper gave her his seal of approval. The family is now off for a holiday in Malaysia and then back home in time for the summer cruising season. And the final picture is the family I missed so much during the time away.
