Start Loc: Port Clinton (22o 32.87’ S, 150o 45.53’ E)
Narrative: After a calm night, we decided we would continue our trek, despite the forecast of continued northerlies. There wasn’t enough breeze to put ripples on the water as we raised the anchor at 11:40am and motored north on our way out of Port Clinton. That all changed as we neared the mouth and realised that outside our anchorage there was a northerly blowing at 15kts. That confirmed that Pearl Bay would not be an enticing spot to spend the night, so we went for the alternate of Delcomyn Bay which is somewhat protected from a northerly. We motored the short distance into wind, and after a couple of attempts we were securely anchored by 12:55pm.
End Loc: Delcomyn Bay (22o 26.59’ S, 150o 45.37’ E)
Distance run: 8 nm (cumulative: 521nm)
