grant 40 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 latest report "ETA has slipped past lunchtime. We will advise later whether it will be this evening or tomorrow" we have wind so I'm not sure whats going on there, although the wind is blowing the wrong way for him Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 and there seems to be quite a bit of sea out there too if you listen to his latest voice report on the Velux 5 site Link to post Share on other sites
grant 40 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Tongue point has 27 knots of SE, 2-3 metres swell in Fitzroy bay and 20ish knots at the front lead, so it doesn't seem to bad here, he must still be a bit north of the strait? Link to post Share on other sites
benny14 6 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 70NM to finish now, still awhile to go, maybe there tomorrow? I went down and took osme photo's of the 1st two boats the other day, plan to go back again once CSM is finished, will put photos up after that, cool looking boats, with quite a few differences between them.

Guest Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Apparently the guy still coming in was complaining that he was having to pump his bilges a lot. Then discovered he had pumped all his fresh water over the side somehow. Link to post Share on other sites
