Barnes to RYCT.

The last day dawned fine,we had a light breakfast,the catering was spot on ,not much left.
We motored out of the bay on the way to Rat Bay,after the muddy anchorages in Port Davey the crew had offered to run all the anchor chain out and clean the anchor well.Well I could not refuse an offer like that,getting down in there is a bit of an effort so all contributions gratefully accepted.
We ran the chain right out and they pulled the mats onto the deck and hosed the mud off,there was not as much as we expected but now slick and span.The counter was being affected by it also so now that works well again.
They then turned their attention to the rest of the boat,the old saying of  many hands make light work is definitely true.They had been working on it for a couple of days now and then.Masterpiece is cleaner than when she started the trip I think.
We arrived back at the club about one and got the gear off,people coming and going for an hour or so,Biggs dog Bill arrived and took up reisidence on the marina to supervise.
We got the dinghy off in the pen before Jerry arrived and eventually finished our chores.
This Circumnavigation was a bit challenging as far as the weather went,quite a few days lost to adverse winds,some on the east coast and more after leaving Beauty Point.

Masterpiece travelled 1298 miles
Used 5026 liters of fuel which worked out at about $648 each person per leg.
Along with food and a little grog it is a cheap holiday well under $100 a day.
Interesting to note the cost has been under this amount for the last ten years or so.
