Cape Byron to Southport

0730hrs:  Departed Byron Bay bound for Southport. Winds very light so we motored for most of the day.

Byron Bay

Byron Main Beach


Tweed Heads





Poor little Poppit, not well atm


Approaching the Gold Coast


1300hrs:  Hoisted our asymmetric spinnaker for the first time.  We should be using this more often as it is great in light airs up to 20 kts.




1400hrs:  After passing the Tweed river the wind picked up and we had a wonderful ride up the coast to the Southport Seaway

1600hrs:  Arrived at Southport and anchored opposite Australia Fair.
