Comments

Arrived Buckles Bay approx 0430. Strong southerly winds have kept us from anchoring, and generated a decent swell in the Bay and a good surf ashore. Forecast is for an improvement later today. Station all ready for us, and Macca people all keen to get ashore. Currently cruising the coast awaiting weather improvement. REGARDS Dug
