Comments
We are away! Voyage 4 to Macquarie Island has departed Hobart on a cracking sunny day and we are making good speed towards Macca. Our hope is to get in front of a rather nasty piece of weather heading for the Island, let's see how we go. The plan is to tuck in the lee of the island on the East coast and sit out the vigorous westerly flow that is forecast on Friday. A huge thanks to all in Hobart and the crew of the AA who got us on our way so efficiently.
Cheers,
Robb, Nicki, Aaron and Eliza.
