Gone Cruising

Hurrah the weather is on the improve and we had a pleasant motor sail from Portland to Port Fairy. The winds were 10 kts from the WNW and we ran the Asymetric most of the way. We had hoped to stop off at Lady Percy Island for lunch but there was too much swell so continued on, there were lots of seals swimming near the coast and apparently it is the home of some rather large white pointers as well. Maybe it was a good thing we did not stop.

The sun came out about lunch time making it a rather pleasant day showing up the beatuy of Port Fairy, greens, blues, etc on our approach. Port Fairy entrance is a canal leading upto the wharf area and main township. We have tied up alongside the wharf and Azure has rafted up to us.

Port Fairy is beautiful, clean, serene (rather like a movie set), lots of tourists and we, being on the wharf, are on constant survelliance and comments by passerbys. A good friend gave some excellent advice- Just do not look up, do not look up at all-otherwise you get caught and are obliged to enter into a conversation.

We are looking forward to exploring this delightful town and enjoying what is has to offer us.
