NSW here we come

16th Feb

Well we made it across Bass Straight safe and sound, and with no vomit. The swell was a mere 1 metre, which according to the captain, is extremely rare for these waters.

We had the company of Mick and Sarah (the couple we met at 80 mile Beach, WA) on the boat, sharing stories and experiences. This was great fun and it made the time go so fast. Before we knew it, it was time to tuck up on one of the uncomfortable bar sofas for a few hours sleep. Despite the dopey and pissed back packing Euros (British included), we managed to get at least 4 hrs sleep.

We got off the boat at about 7.30, took a wrong turn (or two) and ended up in Melbourne city, but not long after we resumed our course for the coast of NSW. We arrived at Merimbula at 5pm and are staying directly opposite a nice beach for the next 2 nights. Tomorrow we are off to get hair cuts (so we look a bit more hip!!!), have a look at Pembula and if the arvo sea breeze comes in, a windsurf at the famous Merimbula main beach.

All is good. I am looking forward to getting home and surfing and sailing more before I re-commence work on March 1st. We also have a house to look for too. Emma is a bit more reserved about going home as there is plenty more of OZ to see, but we will be back at those places in the future for sure.
