It was a bit optimistic to rely on the weather forecast and anticipate a 6 knot average crossing! We have 54 miles to go and it is 8.30am Thur. The first night out had the worst night since Jamaica; huge confused seas and 35 gusting 40 with current against. The Bass Strait is renowned as a nasty bit of sea and it lived up to it. Both local radio forecasts and our downloaded computer-generated ones were way out. On Tues we were listening to a local forecast saying that we had SW winds, and we had N. Anyway boat and us are fine and we are chugging along with (forecast)northerly but light winds at the moment.
Position 37 56.303 and 148 51.671
