DATE: 18 August 2023
POSITION: Woody Is
REPORT: White Watch
We departed our rolly anchorage at 0400. Blue and Red Watch raised the sails with a fresh NW’ly breeze. On the way we squeezed in some gybing practice which saw all watches working and learning together. Everyone enjoyed the brisk sail in a following sea. We were thrilled to see a mother humpback whale and calf come up close to the boat before disappearing. The day was a long one sailing 111 NM in 16.5 hrs dropping anchor at 2010 hrs.
