Underway

Seranading Sandy

How quickly we slip into a routine!  Now that all the sickies have got their sea legs, we have quickly settled into a routine of reading, cooking, eating, music, sleeping and trying to guess which yachts belong to the sails visible on the horizon.

And we even do a little bit of sailing now and then, although luckily Sandale is quite good at looking after herself most of the time!

After a spectacular sunrise we enjoyed a nice Easterly for most of the morning, which kept us moving at >6 knots, before dying out to leave us wallowing in the growing swell.  We are now hoping to turn the engine off quite soon, when the sea breeze arrives to do its thing....Marty says the statistics show Geraldton never has calm days at this time of year, so it shouldn’t be problem!!

As we approached Geraldton we were passed by Marco Polo and Farrucca, and then heralded by our first pod of dolphins who came close by to see how we are doing.  We were also heralded by a huge bulk carrier ship as we past Geraldton, reminding us why we should always keep watch!

All very routine really!
