Sailing home on an afternoon breeze.

After a day exploring the inner harbour of Port Stephens, a nice afternoon breeze springs up to take me home.

The Lake Macquarie RAID group got together for lunch on Pulbah Island, and then a camp over on the Sand Islands. I couldn't make the overnight work this trip, but had a great day with the crew for my first RAID. A cracking Nor'easter blew up after lunch which made for some pretty trying conditions, but I was extremely pleased with how the little Tern handled herself.

A gentle sail begins with a quiet push.

A short trip in my new Whilly Tern.
