Breakaway - Newcastle Bight
We departed as per plan at 0700 today. The forecast was for winds reaching up to 40 knots off Newcastle, and they were right. Including the 40% higher warning which accompanies marine weather forecasts nowadays (for a little while it was well above 50 knots).
Breakaway took it in its stride and as the wind was a westerly, the seas were moderate, although Graeme got a bit damp...
The crew is in good spirits and we should continue to make good progress during the night.
1900 hrs - near Seal Rocks. [Where is Breakaway]
