This is just a quick heads up before we collapse into our bunk to let you all know that the Bloke and I plus the crews of Urchin and Easy Tiger all arrived this evening into Albany.
We are all tied up on the collector jetty (Guano Jetty) at the Princes Royal Yacht Club which has a fantastic aspect across to the City of Albany over the water.
The weather committee did such a good job of planning for 'not too much wind' that they forgot to bid for just a little bit. They did a perfect job as witnessed by our safe arrival this evening and probably about 8 hours ahead of schedule! Arriving before dark is most definitely a bonus, we've had lots of hugs together and a defrag session over drinkies and we'll shortly collapse into bed.
The Bloke has had way too much excitement. He sailed around Leeuwin with all the sails up and was almost throwing up rooster tails as he clocked 8knots. Too many Volo 40 videos methinks! And then there was the fish. He'll be dining out on that story for days or weeks to come!
