We finally left Pittwater in a moderate south wester and swell of about 3m. The 2 reefs we had put in based on the forecast were quickly removed and we had a good reach all the way to Port Stephens in company with a large monohull Corazon. They decided to push on to Coffs Harbour while we stuck with our plan to go into Port Stephens. 
We were surprised to see the 1160 Champagne on Ice appear among the anchored ships off Lake Macquarie. A great day's sail soured somewhat when it took an hour to set the anchor after an chain alignment issue with the windlass became apparent. We eventually spent a quiet night at Soldiers Point after covering 70 nm back towards home at last. Print this post
