Helen Parris-Girdlestone

Cold NE wind 10-15knots dropping off in the evening. Nice to get out on the water again, this time with Eric joining us for the day.

Left Little Port Cooper with a little more wind so headed out pas the heads so “Rose could be at sea”… :-) Wind nice and consistent at around 10knts out of the South. A little variable coming in back past the heads then settled to power us all the way back to the marina. Lovely day on the water!!!

Light to variable so just used the main sail to head out to Little Port Cooper. Had Dan & Rose onboard as well. Got to meet one of the superstars from Parley Revival which was a highlight for me. #TopBloke

Started off an easy 8-10knts W the started to pick up to the mid teens and swung SW. First sail after main was repaired… all good

Just motored back … enjoying the last day on holiday

Still the 10knts or so from the NE so nice sail back to the marina with Sealion nice and steady wing on wing. Outgoing tide did slow the trip a tad though.

Wind picked up so headed out to Little Cooper Bay to have a beer with Phil.

Light wind so motored to Purau only to find someone on our mooring ball!! iPad died as well 😞

Cruise back to the marina

Motor-sailed initially till the easterly filling in. Wonderful day on the water with the wind building to around that 15knt mark. Caught three fish and lost two but still great. Plan was to stop overnight at Pigeon Bay but no good anchorage so pushed on to Little Cooper Bay. Helen made a fantastic feed to end the day in style.
