Ep 372 | TESTING Nutshell - ABORTING Longest Passage & Seeking SHELTER in Bad Seas
More housekeeping reveals just how many things are dodgy in the Nuthouse, with more boat jobs rearing their ugly heads.
Magnus utilises one of the existing antennas and builds a new one for our AIS system.
We plan to test the kite and invite friends aboard to have more hands on deck while we learn. Unfortunately, the weather isn’t on our side, with white caps on the water forcing us to abort. We’ll give it another crack later.
We check out Victoria Point as an option for moving our car. It’s tricky having a car while cruising on a boat, as you constantly have to piggyback it with you. We won’t have it for long.
We head to Myora, a well-known anchorage nearby. Initially, there are only a few boats, but the numbers quickly grow to over 35 moored around us. Preferring quieter spots, we decide to leave.
We then begin our longest passage yet in the Nuthouse, making our way to Pumicestone Passage. This requires crossing Moreton Bay, a notoriously treacherous stretch of water. Magnus has four backup anchorages planned in case the weather turns or the Nuthouse can’t make it.
After tucking in due to white caps and a choppy, confused sea, we finally reach Pumicestone Passage. Along the way, Nutty is tested in adverse conditions, though they pale in comparison to what she’ll face in the open ocean.
We now know that we will have to make a very important decision, very soon.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time...
Wendy and Magnus
