We made it. We’re in Australia. Well, not officially as we won’t clear customs until tomorrow morning, but close enough.
Passage: 5 1/2 really nice days. One really sucky day (today). More soon, when we’ve recovered from the last 20 hours.
(OK, now you’re wondering what happened that made it so bad and now you won’t be able to sleep until you know. Nothing happened really, just 20 knots on the beam gusting to 27 knots. Rough, confused seas. When you quantify it, it doesn’t sound so bad. When you live it, you wish you hadn’t!)
