Finally Leave Singapore


Our delivery of the Lagoon 50 from Singapore to Fiji began on Friday at the Raffles Marina, where the clearance process went incredibly smoothly. While our initial departure was slightly delayed due to the hustle and bustle of Chinese New Year and finalizing our Malaysian registration, it allowed us to complete the final preparations.
Leaving Singapore, we embarked on the exciting passage through the Singapore Strait. This bustling waterway, teeming with hundreds of ships navigating the shipping lanes, is a sight to behold. As we charted our course east, we strategically positioned ourselves on the outer edge of the channel. This provided a clear view of the surrounding traffic, allowing the larger vessels to pass safely on our port side. 

Our focus remained on the diverse marine life sharing the waters with us – the cumbersome tugs with their barge companions, the colorful fishing boats, and the sleek high-speed ferries. We kept a watchful eye out for the occasional reef and islands that dotted the horizon.

During this initial leg, we encountered a minor obstacle that necessitated a quick stop at Nongsa Marina. This unscheduled pause provided a valuable opportunity to regroup and ensure we were in top form for the exciting adventure ahead! Nongsa Marina offered a brief respite, and with the issue swiftly resolved, we are eager to get back on track and continue our journey towards Fiji.

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...

Motoring

We've officially crossed the halfway point on our journey to Darwin, and things are looking good. The weather continues to cooperate, offering us smooth motoring so far. However, forecasts predict a shift in wind direction sometime tomorrow, with easterlies potentially changing our arrival time. The stronger the easterlies, the later we'll pull into Darwin. It's going to be time to transfer fuel later and the only pump available in Singapore was a rickety, hand-cranked contraption that leaked like a sieve . Transferring fuel has been a nightmare. It turned a simple task into a full-blown mission, complete with showers for everyone involved afterwards and a thorough boat cleaning session. Thankfully, things are much different now. Thanks to Rhona's keen eye, we snagged a fantastic electric transfer pump in Lombok. This beauty is a dream come true – just two hoses and a simple switch, and we can effortlessly pump 250 liters of fuel in a matter of minutes! Needless to say,...

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 ...
