Why the Hurry?

When you know there is bad weather on the way you don't want to dilly dally (e.g. stay out in Bass Strait to sight-see on Deal Island) and getting into a safe harbour is imperative. We were so pleased to be on a jetty when Bass Strait was being visited by a serious Cold Front this week. Solid 35knot winds created a nasty fetch.


 
Our mooring lines were doubled in anticipation. 
Every last fender we could find was employed and we held our breath until it all went away.

 
Staying on board was incredibly unpleasant but we didn't like to leave the boat. 

The good thing is that bad weather is always followed by good weather.
