Here is my trip North so far, on the days we have sailed all day, we have covered approximately 50 nm actual, but the prevailing wind has been North, with only one South, and some consistent run to beam reaching conditions.
My Bav 37 is sailing along nicely, typically at 6 knots on the nose, with some 8 knots averages on the reaching day.


DAY 1 Port Hacking to Sydney Harbour
DAY 2 SH to Norah Head
DAY 3 NH to Port Stephens
DAY4 PS to Broughton Island
DAY5 BI to Crowdy Head
DAY6 CH to Trial Bay
DAY 7. TB to Coffs Harbour
DAY 8. Coffs lay day
DAY 9 CH To Iluka
DAY 10 Iluka to Byron Bay
DAY 11 Byron to Gold Coast

We had to fix the auto pilot steer chain, see our fix in photos, we have two on board, and have enjoyed the experience so far.



The joys of all day passage making, near Port Stephens


The Dyneema chain repair, working perfectly, my main steering chain is fine, ok!
Tramping along, close hauled and doing 7 knots

Parked in Coffs, we were next to another Bav, a 40 mines in the background


The view out the cockpit at night in our current location.

So with the Beacon to Beacon in hand we will work our way through the inland route over the course of the week end.
