Glamorous Galah - Sydney for Galahs
After basking in the Aussie sunshine and friendliness of Coffs Harbour, we cast off around midday Monday. After a pleasant motor sail down the coast with whales and dolphins for company, we have arrived at the Prince Alfred YC in Pittwater.The weather is superb and we are making the most of it before a change tomorrow. Bernie even put his name down for Wednesday afternoon sailing and has headed out to free on a local yacht!We were going to catch up with Dave and Magli, but they are in Brisbane overseeing repairs to Ensemble.If there are any other ARC ralliers in the area - look us up on dock C33.Ted.

Glamorous Galah - Landfall for Galah
This morning we all shouted 'land ho' when Cape Byron came into view. The seas have calmed down and we are short tacking down the coast. Plenty of waves peeling along the points at Byron, Broken and Lennox Head. It's a magnificent site seeing this part of our coast from the sea, especially after over 10000 nautical miles!We intend to clear in at Coffs Harbour on Friday. There's a chance of a celebratory drink or two!Ted.
