A new season begins

Just to conclude the ‘up North’ saga: September saw me again aboard Eaglehearts, this time crewing from Denham to Geraldton.
Having given up on waiting for ideal weather the realisation that sometimes you just have to go head down, bum up was reached
and we headed out of Steep Point into a confused sea state and battling Southerlies head on. Lots of breaching whales and
some 40 – odd hours later we arrived safely in Geraldton. Eaglehearts is a strong, solid cat, I felt that we didn’t take any unacceptable risks.
The skipper did admit that he was concerned about him breaking, rather than Eaglehearts.
Luckily, neither broke.
And so the new sailing season is upon us, this time we hope will see us adventuring on Sirocco rather than other vessels.
First up is a small shakedown cruise to Fremantle on 24th October.
Stay tuned!
