G’day,
Yeah it was a good trip, completed over 10 days
2 day drive north from Sydney 1500km ( about 950 miles)
6 days on the water.
We visited remote areas 35miles off shore but only accessible to shallow draught vessels. The areas a marine sanctuary so the fisherman don’t go there. We were the only ones at the coral cays, which was a real privilege.
Sail back to the mainland & then 2 days drive home.
And yeah my CS 17 is pretty much always faster than the O’day in all conditions.
I build the CS to do these kinds of trips. The boat has exceeded my expectations, it’s a capable, fast and a safe cruising boat.
Cheers John
