Sailing to Port Stephens!

On the 38' yacht, enjoying the breeze—just before exiting the Sydney heads.

We had a good stiff sou'easterly behind us, to hurry us up the coast.

Snoozing on beautiful Fingal Spit.

Splendid trip with the best of the weather. Billowing green seas in the daytime, a skyful of stars and dolphins larking on the bow-wave at night, and two days' worth of well-deserved beach-lounging. What more could a small bat wish?
