BRIZO - Crossed the finish line for leg 7



We got underway for leg 7 from Port Vila, Vanuatu to Mackay, Australia on Thursday, July 19th. We had better winds than expected and will arrive a day earlier than anticipated. The crew was a little under the weather for the first 3-4 days but managed to rally for the last two days. We crossed the finish line at 12:00pm and making our way through the barrier reef to Mackay. This portion of the passage is just over 100nm and should arrive to the marina in the early hours tomorrow morning.

At the moment, Kathryn and Audrey are watching "Finding Nemo", which you may know takes place in the Australian barrier reefs. We haven't seen the Nemo or Dory yet but we're still looking. It would be great to see Crush cruising along, too!

Lew will travel back to Cleveland for a couple of weeks on Sunday for work. Corinne and the girls will spend some time in Mackay and then travel to Syndey to check out the sites. Kathryn and Audrey have already made plans to visit the aquarium all day. Apparently we will be there the moment it opens and will not leave until they escort us out!

We'll keep you updated once we are settled in Mackay. The rally has several programs scheduled before the fleet departs for free cruising.
