Sunday 20th
There was a slight breeze overnight (33kts) and a couple of bumps (2.5m dueling swells). As the wind was taking us too far off course, we turned on the motor and pounded through the waves. Dead of the night with no moon, we trusted Imagine to get us through. By daybreak the wind had died down, so we could head to Lady Muskgrave. The timing worked well to get though the 30m wide channel at low tide with Andrew up the mast, Sue on the helm and Lydia cheering them on.
Lady Muskgrave was a much needed reprieve. Fixed poor FRED the autopilot, we won’t be taking him for granted again. Lydia had a dive checking out the bommies in the amazingly clear 20°C water with 20m vis. Andrew had a quick dip but Sue decided to wait for the warmer water up north.
