The weather has improved slightly and the wind has dropped (often below 5knots and not above 17 knots). We logged out departure from Nelson Bay with Marine Rescue and a planned 48 hr trip to Yamba/Iluka. The weather report has 1.5 - 2m seas.
We saw a two pods of dolphins on the first day. The first was just north of Nelson Bay and the second was later in the afternoon. The day was beautiful and everyone is feeling a lot better than yesterday. Just a slight sea sickness in the afternoon, but the seas improved and we then took watches over night.
Light meals all day, bread and biscuits as we build our sea legs.
