Sailing West

We had a good day today, sailing along with a steady breeze. The wind shifted in our favor around noon, and we were able to set our course directly to our destination. We have not seen any other vessels since we left Port Vila, and we enjoy the solitude and tranquility of the sea.

The boat is performing well, with no major surprises. We are averaging slightly over 160 nautical miles a day, which is a good pace on the open sea. We are monitoring our water consumption, and we have plenty for the rest of the trip. We also have plenty of food and supplies on board, so we are not worried about running out.

The wind is blowing at 15 around knots, and we are keeping it at 150 degrees to the boat. This gives us a comfortable angle of sail. The waves are moderate, and the boat handles them well. We have the main sail and a genoa up, and we are making good speed.

We take turns on watch, and we have an autopilot that steers the boat. We check the instruments regularly, and we also keep an eye on the horizon for any signs of weather changes or hazards. 

We sleep in shifts, taking 3hrs each on watch. The boat is spacious and comfortable, and we have everything we need to make ourselves at home. We cook simple meals in the galley, and we eat together in the cockpit or the saloon. We also have some books, and internet to keep us entertained.

We are enjoying this passage, and we are looking forward to reaching our destination. We have about 6 more days to go, and it looks as though the weather will stay favorable.

Arrival in Sydney: Delivery Complete!

 This morning, the Excess 14 slid gracefully into her new berth at Middle Harbour Marina, marking the successful completion of her delivery from the Gold Coast. The final approach into Sydney Harbour is always a great sight, a fitting end to a coastal voyage. This passage was a comprehensive real-world test of the boat's capabilities. She proved to be a joy in light airs, demonstrated strength and stability in heavy weather, and showed impressive maneuverability during a tricky docking. It’s clear that the Excess 14 is a versatile and robust catamaran, perfectly suited for everything the Australian coast can throw at it. The final tasks onboard are ones of quiet satisfaction: coiling the lines perfectly, writing up the final log entry, and giving the boat a last clean and polish. For Yacht Delivery Solutions, it's a pleasure and a privilege to deliver a vessel of this quality. Handing her over to the brokers at Flagstaff Marine clean, secure, and ready for her new owners is t...

Done and Dusted in Brisbane!

We are done! The boat's tied up safe and sound in the marina, the crew has packed their bags and headed off, and I'm here doing the final clean-up before I leave at 6 am tomorrow morning. I have to admit, I was pretty anxious for the last 24 hours. I was on the edge of my seat, hoping those saildrives would hold out for the final stretch. I even changed the oil in both of them around 3 am, because we were going to make landfall around 5 am and its quite a way up the river, and the tide was going to be dropping as we went up, meaning they'd have a bit more work to do. And the final approach was definitely… engaging. There was a fair bit of tide coming out of the river, which dropped our boat speed down to around 4 knots. We also had the added obstacle of river traffic to contend with, and the channel margins were tight – about half a meter on either side. It was one of those situations where you're constantly running through scenarios in your head. I was thinking things ...

Last 24hrs

This is our last full day and night at sea. Tomorrow, we'll be tied up in the marina in Tahiti , and I'll be turning off the engines for the last time. The main and headsail will be dropped and stowed away, and I won't be touching the sheets or halyards again. It feels peculiar to think that Namarie and I have kept each other safe throughout this incredible journey, and in a few days, I'll be on a plane heading home. On this yacht delivery Namarie and I started in the Bay of Biscay and headed south into the Atlantic, getting to know each other along the way. We made a brief stop in the Canary Islands, our last contact with Europe before heading further south and leaving footprints in the red dust of Cape Verde. We left West Africa behind and headed further west across the Atlantic, dodging hurricanes and grabbing fuel and provisions in the southern end of the Caribbean. From there, we pushed onwards through the Caribbean Sea to Panama and the canal. Pretty soon after, ...
