You were dragging your feet Russ, took us 22 hours to sail our new Naiad up from Freo to Carnarvon not including times for refueling in Gero and Denham. We sat on around 24-25 knots for a comfortable and economical ride.
Should get a bit lumpy with a strong wind warning from Kalbarri north for tomorrow arvo, if it looks too bad you can always sneak down the inside of the islands for a bit of a break
Well done Bernie that is one hell of a boat, cant wait to come out on it with you guys. Hoping to be up there June/July. What a weapon and it looks like it would ride like silk!
