VOYAGE NUMBER: 20220503
FROM: Manly to Manly
DATE: 6 May 2022
POSITION: Bulwer, Moreton Is
REPORT BY: Blue Watch
The day was spent by sailing from Southport to Cape Moreton. The day started with blue skies and light winds. But later these conditions changed into storms, lightning and lots of raining. When we entered the open ocean through the broad water, it was awesome at first with everyone enjoying the roller coast like ride, but then the crew started dropping like flies to sea sickness (Mac Fort was first blood). After a few sea sickness tablets and some food and water, the crew on south passage were ready for the day ahead; or so they thought! Our last watch was practically torture as we spent more than one hour taking down the sails in the dark.
