83 - Ridin' the EAC to Sydney!

It’s always nice to get a speed boost when on a passage and the East Australian Current is about as big as they get. Sailing down from Coffs Harbour to Sydney, we went out to the 100 meter depth line and started flying. The wind was from the north and we had a wide window to arrive in Sydney during daylight, so we took it easy and just sailed using our screecher at first and then our genoa when the winds picked up.

Going so fast, the passage was a short one, but we still had a few things to keep us occupied. Some friendly dolphins stopped by for a visit and we were sailing during the Geminid Meteor Shower during a night of clear skies. There’s just something absolutely magical about sailing under a sky full of infinite stars.

Oh, and we were definitely keeping an eye out for Nemo, Marlin, Dory and Crush, but were quite disappointed that none of them made an appearance. 🙁

Thanks for watching!
