Hi All,
I have just visited the Skipr site and can report that Mick in PELE has made it safely to Hobart.
I have lifted his posts, thanks Mick, and dropped them here for the members enjoyment. I am sure that Mick will want to expand the story.

Presently anchored in Snug Cove, Eden. Left Bermagui this morning at 0600, arrived Eden 1600. Lovely day had to motor for a while first thing until the wind came up but then a beautiful sail down the coast past such delightful places as, Tathra, Merimbula and Pambula. Here for a while....[end of message is lost]

Alternating between Snug Cove, East Boyd and Nullica Bay, depending on the wind. Certainly enjoying things here. Plenty of work done on the boat, hoping to leave during the next week.
Nineteen days after arriving in Eden.
