Looking for the weather windows along the coast

Those photos in the previous post surely turned out weird.  If Phil and Chris take me somewhere with a good internet connection perhaps I can fix them.  Today I won't try to deal with photos...just a little update.

Two Rocks was an enjoyable stop, but we had a little window of sailing weather so we departed Two Rocks on Friday morning and had a fairly uncomfortable sail up to Lancelin.  We anchored just behind the little island at Lancelin for the night and it was so rolly we were happy to depart early Saturday and sail north.  We arrived in the little marina at Jurien Bay in the late afternoon on Saturday...just in time to catch a lift into the pub for dinner with our friends from Tigress Too.

Sunday was sunny and very pleasant...the calm before the storm and we got a number of jobs done on the boat before the winds and rain arrived that night.  Monday was a rainy day but we intrepid yachties walked into town for fish and chips and a couple of errands.  Today, Tuesday, the weather was sunny and warm again, so we'll head out and continue north again tomorrow.  We plan to make the approximately 260 mile sail up to Steep Point.  Sadly, we'll miss catching some fish at the Abrolhos Islands, but we've been told to throw a lure in the water north of Geraldton.  Hopefully in my next post I can sort out the photography problems AND post a photo of a recently landed fish.  Talk to you later...Buster.
