Hi there, am sitting in the Serviceman's Club recharging the batteries on the laptop while Warren chats to his brother and wife.

We sailed out of Forster at 8.30 yesterday morning, bound for Camden Haven - 9 hours if we did 4 knots on average.  Haven't had one day of good wind yet.  We are supposed to charm the wind aren't we?  Winds were not kind to us again, so had to work hard and had a very rolly day all the way up.  Finally motor sailed for the last four hours to get into Camden Haven right on sunset.  The bar was tricky with breaking surf, the captain made Warren and I hang on tight.  We had our life jackets on all day and Warren and Ian wore tethers every time they ventured out of the cockpit to adjust the sails.

I even made coffee twice yesterday as we sailed.  Jammed myself into the galley.  Jammed the coffee mugs between the fruit bowl in the sink and managed to get a few full cups with only spilling some of one. Haven't felt slightly sick or oomy which is amazing.

We chatted to another yacht next to us who is from Hervey Bay.  They spent the whole of last year in Lake Macquarie and now after doing a few jobs on their yacht here will sail straight up to Hervey Bay.

We should be on our way to Trial Bay or further north tomorrow.  Early start.   Lovely here on the river though, best sleep with no cockles or tide chatting to us all night.   One of the best anchorages yet.
