Direct Gold Coast to Port Hacking arriving at 1210AM and after a good sleep came into Burraneer Bay with the tide to be greeted by family and friends.
We had a great time and would not hesitate to do it all again however next time via the Marquesas and Tahitian group in a Nordhavn of course.
As a matter of interest after successfully negotiating the many islands and on the Australian coast some 100 coal ships we nearly came to grief when it was necessary to turn sharply to avoid a yacht with only a weak mast head light showing visible for about 200 yards. This yacht only showed as a pin point on the Radar and it was really touch and go. Small boat owners do not realise the risk they run when a radar reflector on the mast would have saved a dangerous situation. This said he will no doubt need to visit the laundry when he arrives at his next port and I hope the lesson will be well learned.
Love to all
Jack.
