Bundaberg tomorrow

Colin and Sandy Cruising with Papillon
On route to Australia
06h00 UTC 7 November
Course: 222 °
Distance covered last 24hrs until 01h00 GMT: 171nm
Distance to Bundaberg: 84nm
Position 23°54' S 153°41' E

All's well on board.

What a trip it has been so far. We have made very good time and have had pleasant weather. At the moment we have the wind on the beam and we have been averaging 8+kn for the last four hours. We will be getting into the Port of Bundaberg around mid morning tomorrow. There are a few boats arriving tomorrow and even more on Wednesday. There are many yachts scheduled to arrive this week. I guess that it will be party time in Bundy all week. Many have been waiting for a weather window and then leave together which does create little flotillas from ports where one holes up.
We have very mixed feelings about getting in tomorrow... besides customs etc.... as this ends this amazing trip that has taken us halfway around the world on Papillon and has dished up some totally fantastic experiences. Today was our last blue water day (for a while) as tomorrow we will be in at the coast. We should pass the tip of Frazer Island in about six hour and enter Hervey Bay, but then there is the other side of all the new opportunities that beckon us onward to meet new challenges. Is it all so fantastic!!!!!!!!
