Made it!

Ok folks, since they're not telling you themselves.... I'm just confirming they made it, they are home and well. The yacht "Streetcar" got to it's final destination in Mooloolaba, Australia, and Pete and Geoff are busy finding their land legs, and considering what will come next in their lives. I'm not putting my money on another ocean crossing, but... you never know.

Mooloolaba

Position: 26.2 S, 153.2 E

We should be arriving in Mooloolaba, our final destination, at 8.00pm

Fraser Island

We're just rounding the northern tip of Fraser Island, heading South to Mooloolaba, our final destination. We should get in there late tonight. We almost got hung up in Bundaberg with paperwork, inspections, etc related to boat importation, but we were able to steer through the bureaucracy and keep moving.

Almost in Bundaberg

Position: 24.52 S, 152.7 E
Just 30 miles to go to Bundaberg but the starter motor broke, no battery power so sailing slow. 3pm arrival. Then we'll try to get a start so we can get to moo land. We'll plan to depart Bundaberg at around 8pm tonight, so we can arrive in Mooloolaba at 9am on the high tide.

Almost home

Position: 23.97 S, 155.48 E

This is almost the last position update. We should be into Bundaberg by midday tomorrow, then Maloolabah on Wednesday morning.

Geoff


From Martin: Today is Geoff's birthday. He and Peter are celebrating as they complete their first crossing of the largest ocean in the world. Cheers to that guys, nice work. You two make it look easy.

Half way

Wind was 50 to 60 knots all night. We are OK, and it has eased now to 40 knots. We're about half way to Australia (from New Caledonia). We're hanging on tight. Will send position later in the day.

UPDATE:
Position: 23.42 S, 158.88 E

The boom is hitting the water only occasionally now. Lots of big green waves over the boat. We have a new top speed of 23.7kts!
