Departed Rhyll at 6:30am approaching slack tide under light NW winds. Incoming tide slowed us down soon after passing Cowes but were able to raise the Screecher in 6-9 knots of steady NW wind soon after. Saw several rafts of penguins on the trip and a seal playing ball with a dead bloated Puffer Fish! Dropped anchor off Woolamai in around 4m of water at high tide at around 1:15pm.

Left Hobart at around 10:45 am under sunny conditions with light winds and thus sail motored most of the trip. The winds were supposed to be from the north west but were actually variable but mainly from the north east. The swell was less than a metre. At the top of south Bruny the winds picked up to between 11 and 19 knots which quickened our pace across the bay. On arriving to Adventure Bay we picked up the MaST mooring in 18 knots just ahead of an approaching rain system. With winds still coming from the north west the mooring is a little rolly now but the wind is expected to swing SW overnight which should make it a little more pleasant.
