Once we weighed anchor to depart Picnic Bay and head for the breakwater marina we had to head into the heavily breaking sea to avoid being rolled about to severely, it also gave us the opportunity to go with the wind and seas once we eventually changed course back to the channel. We managed to hit just over 10 knots with the headsail up and the engine running at around 1200rpm. Despite the heavy chop it was a relatively comfortable trip back across the paddock with the following sea. The helm is hard work as Anais does not particulary like a 1.5 to 2.0 m following sea, but it is a great feeling having her 28 ton surfing the crest of a wave. |

Once back in the marina Princess settled back to shore life very quickly. Very nonchalant with the two cats on board Sunbird. |
