Into Bass Strait


0230 13/2/11
Another super early start, a 60 nautical mile trip we wanted to get to the Kent island group with light and time to chill in the after noon. Winds favoured us this leg with 15-20knots off the beam we hoisted the spinnaker and cracked across. It was great sailing enjoying some good speed and surfing reasonable waves we punched across in seven hours. Coming around Erith Island I noticed some wicked cliffs so we dropped sails and chugged over for closer inspection. We settled on a plan to head to a near by anchorage Garden Cove, chill, snooze and then come back that arvo. After waking from siesta and having a coffee around three I decided a full day tomorrow was better then a half arsed day today so we spent the arvo and evening sorting climbing gear and climbing the mast.
