On our way to Lord Howe Island.

Hi all, We picked up William from the Careel Bay jetty at 0630 Sunday morning and set sail for Lord Howe Island. Bernadette and her fiancee Steve were there to wave us off. Things were a little slow at first with light & cold Westerlies behind us. Things have improved now with about 15-25kts of wind from the South. We're expecting a strong change within a couple of hours with 30kt sustained winds so we're reefed down ready for it.

All are well and we hope to arrive at Lord Howe on Wednesday morning.

We have lost sight of land and were just passed by a large ship- which was 9 miles away (about 15kM).

Regards, Penny, Dave, Will and Paul
