After much preparation we are now on our way North. Todays trip was very short, 4nm, to Coasters Retreat to give us a good early start tomorrow for our first port, Newcastle.
Leaving Bayview Marina behind as we head to Coasters Retreat
It has been a hectic last few days getting ready with a last minute replacement of the main halyard, as the previous new one was slipping badly. I upgraded from 12mm to 14mm, but the new halyard I replaced was a very thin 12mm.
New dinghy is on board with beach wheels from the old one fitted, and other than that, just the normal checks and servicing before we left.
Tomorrows weather looks OK, although the forecast is for a NE breeze. The following 2 days will be wet and windy, so we will enjoy a few days in Newcastle.
