Arrived Port Stephens

We had a fast vigorous and wet ride from Newcastle to Port Stephens. What we thought would be 15-20 knots in fine weather, turned out to be 25-30 knots (40-50 kph) with heavy showers and a rather rough sea with big swells- not our ideal sailing conditions  . Needless to say breakfast was out of the question.  We are enjoying the calm of Port Stephens marina.
