We are underway and great sailing. Engine broke down once already, now fixed by inboard mechanic at 1300.
Left Airlie at 0545 in light wind, dry and SSE winds 10-15 knots, dry and sunny.
Wind gone to SEE and 15knots. Great sailing at 1530, planning to anchor on Goldsmith Island at 1745 ish.
Short first day, sailing really well at 4.5 knots beating to wind and very comfy on deck and inside cabin.
Steering is difficult and system needs bleeding again. Engine problem was fuel filter and mucky fuel. Will keep an eye on and poss filter tanks overnight to clean remaining crap out of them.
More updates later.
