Sou-west winds 20-25 knots, was an on the nose trip across to Kilencrankie on Flinder's Island. Not too far and travelling pretty quickly it was a sweet trip.

20-30 knot winds from behind meant we smashed out our plans for today and it was pretty uneventful

No wind meant an all day motor, we set off super early so we could time out entry into the Franklin Sound. The Franklin Sound was pretty exciting entry with involved navigation for a few hours into channels between some pretty nasty reefs and islands. We got into Lady Barren with time to test out the hot water system on the boat for a shower before heading to the Furneaux Tavern for a beer, pool and a great meal.

Gale and strong wind warnings kept us in port, so we did what any good sailor does in these conditions and drank rum and fought. Well we didnt fight but we did drink a fair amount of Captain Morgans!
21/2/11
Another really early start saw us making way for Beauty Point, our plans to head down the east coast aborted as we all had various commitments and lost time with the foul weather. We had a great sail in moderate winds and arrived in Beauty Point 22 hours later bringing an end to a sweet sweet trip.
