A rolly night at Eddystone Point with a NE sea and a SE wind. Not that there was much to the night anyway, as we had a 1:50am departure to ensure we were favoured by the strong tidal currents approaching Lady Barron. We had a quick trip, mostly under sail until the late morning winds eased prior to the predicted midday build up, arriving at Lady Barron before 1:00pm.
As we approached Flinders Island the rain started and was with us all the way in unfortunately. The wharf at Lady Barron was full so we picked up an available mooring, at least for a while. If one of the fishing boats leaves we will endeavour to come along side - neither of us wants to play dinghies in the rain. It was then time to get out of all our wet weather gear and enjoy a hot lunch followed by a catch up of last night's sleep.
Lady Barron will be our stepping off point across Bass Strait for Eden. Accordingly we could be here one or more days awaiting an appropriate weather window . . . .
