Day 8 Ceduna.

Feel we have been blest with the weather,not perfect but it is a long way and to only have to slow down a couple of times could be considered unusual.

Kept trucking all day and night ,Cheroz produced a very good roast lamb dinner last night..

There was a spectacular sunset which went on for a couple of hours .

If you think there is a lot of "out the back photos" that is the main view for us,the land is low and at a few miles off is really only a line.Thought I would share it with you.

Biggs and I were on at ten again so had a couple hours of kip.

Nothing to report during our first watch ,on again at four and had the job of navigating to the channel about 35 miles away,reached the outer markers just as first light appeared ,good timing.Biggs steered up through channel to where we thought the fuel berth would be.Cased it out and thought it can't be here so motored around to the shipping wharf .hung around there for a while when the pilot boat came over and asked us to move away a bit for the ship which was following us up.

Found out our original place was right.

Rods fuel truck turned up and Biggs supervised the refilling,I checked over the engine room.

Just like a F1 pit stop.the cooks got a few things up the road,hosed the boat off and we were away.

Arrived at 7.30 and departed at 10 .30.

So good bye Ceduna aiming for Robe.
