Our friend Len (r) and Royce (c) from Seawind joined us for our trip from Pittwater to Brisbane. This was my first taste of offshore sailing and I felt a certain amount of trepidation as we left with a gale warning forecast for the next day! We had a great time - even though we and had 38 knots on the nose at one stage. The wind was strong from the north all the way to Coffs Harbour where we stopped for a good nights sleep. From there to the Gold Coast there was very little wind and we gave the motors a good run. We had to keep moving as Seawind was using our boat at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show.
