Enjoying the rest in Coffs Harbour Marina sheltered behind Mutton Bird Hill. Fish Co-op is right here, so we are enjoying some fresh seafood. Have had a few walks along the breakwall, the seas of course are horrendous. What is it about Coffs Harbour and us. Once before we had been away north on the boat for 6 months and were very excited to get home to the kids for Christmas. Sure enough, similar situation as now, with huge seas and we were stuck here for 10 days. I"ve enjoyed today however, with my not so new interest in photography & trying to hone my skills with the new camera and new telephoto lens. Thought I did a pretty good job getting Col about to be drenched along the breakwall. Todays 6 & 7m waves on a 5-6m swell are down to 1.5 -2m on Friday, (piece of cake) so we will be looking at probably Saturday or even Sunday to head off again.

| Somewhere 18km out from Coffs Harbour we have to get around Sth Solitary Island. Iolanthe, remember that very LONG night 10 yrs ago. |
windChalmer AHOY from Silver Affair. I've tried to contact you, I think I messed it up. Sorry. Hope we can catch up somewhere along the route.

Happy you are safe and sound in Coffs (and staying there for a few days I hope). Seas look massive!
