First day RYCT to Port Arthur.
Arrived at the club a bit after 10.30,The Crew were chaffing at the bit.
I texted them to go and have a coffee as I was running a bit late.We did the required paper work and I took it into the office.Had a coffee and slipped lines at 11.30.
Only a light breeze in the river,passed a few boats before the Iron Pot lighthouse.
The SW wind gradually picked up with the sea as we approached Cape Raoul,as it does,quite a sea on before the Cape but was easer when we rounded.
A lot of birds working so we slowed down and put the Tuna lure in,the motion a lot better with the sea behind us.
Not even a bite.
Motored into Safety Cove for lunch at 2.30.
Passed quite a few yachts having a good sail in the conditions although I would think the sea would have produced a few green sailors.
Put the pots in at the north end of Safety Cove,I have not fished there before so not holding out much hope.
Anchored in Ladies Bay for the night with 10 or so other circumnavigators.
Roast Chicken for dinner with veggies,a shortbread tart and ice cream for desert,a pleasant first day.
