Hi Shaun,

I have not been able to reply to your private message.
Don't know why.

I sailed down to Sydney on the weekend. Fabulous trip and will leave the boat there for a few months.

So that mooring is available for a while and you are welcome.

I expect to come back to it probably November / December.

Please email me so we can swap phone numbers and sort it out.

Cheers

Good evening Sea Lady,

On Sunday I was racing on a Swanson with Gosford SC from Sydney to Pittwater. I heard a Sea Lady log on, but was not sure whether it was your boat or not on Sunday. Would I be right in saying you sailed down on the Sunday. If you did it would have been dream run. Seas were flat as a tack and from the ENE swinging to NE later in the day. I am assuming just off a run downwind.

Could you let me know how long it took you to sail down? I am hoping it is between 3hrs 30mins and 4 hrs 30mins (averaging over 4 knots).

Cheers.

Hi yes it was me.

Ohhh I am famous!!!!!

It was flat as a tack and perfect conditions

Took 4 hours head to head.
Had to motor part of the way. As the wind was officially ZERO at South Head and I confirmed it with Marine Rescue.

Average about 4 knots.

The wind picked up later in the morning.

I had a crew member on board. He was the one making the call. His first time using a radio.

Great to have a galley slave. :lol:

Once the wind picked up we were on a reach.
Great trip.

A tip.
I was using a hand held radio, my main radio is on the blink, and Marine Rescue has difficulty hearing me so I used the mobile phone.
Always have a mobile phone on board as well... just in case.

My last trip, heading north took 5 hours head to head.
It really depends on the weather.

Happy sailing

Diana
