Hi Will,
Will send more photos when the water gets that much more tropical blue and desirable at some secluded anchorage around Oct, November time.

So far I have done just over 750nm and the hydrovane has been fantastic, just about to do another 400nm hop up to Brisbane from Newcastle with a good blow from astern the whole way. By the time I get to Townsville I should have a couple of thousand NM under the Hydrovane so will do you one then at the moment shes been working well in 31knots this coming hop should be all 20-25knots wind the whole way so some good time should be had. 😉

Hope all is well with you & the family. When ever you visited Newcastle? Plenty of people here remember your visit so seeing my Hydrovane has brought out many a comment from long term residents of the marine here.

[Editor’s note: we (Sarah and Will) made landfall in Coffs Harbour, Australia in 2014.. and enjoyed the Newcastle Yacht Club for a few nights as we hopped down the NSW coast to Sydney. Great spot!]

Cheers
Nige
