Approaching Brisbane

Monday 5th August 2013

Well, what a time we have had of it!! Had to heave to twice more with really bad squalls, the mainsail has been reefed and unreefed, the front sails in and out, and the wind has stayed firmly on our nose and we have had 24 hours of adverse current that held us back 2 miles every hour. (Now it has decided to go with us!). So the trusty engine has been doing its business. This morning early we had our first real time of ship dodging, and then there was the spectacular Aussie sunrise.
 
We are now on target to get in to the marina at Rivergate for the officials some time tomorrow. Trying now to tidy up and make sure we do not have any banned food items.
