Arrival at Apollo Bay

We arrived at Apollo Bay on Wednesday 11 March at 11 a.m.  We sailed about 6-7 hours and motored the remaining hours from Port Fairy for about 15 hours. Once we changed direction and sailed NE with the swell it was much more comfortable and less rolling .  The moon was shining on us the whole night which made our trip really enjoyable.  (IC)

We really did not sleep well  as the surge from the swell kept jerking the boat all night. As I was kept awake I timed the jerking/jolting motion every 10 to 13 seconds. The break water seemed to bend the waves around and into the marina rather than keeping them out. It is also quite tricky getting in and out of the marina with the sea running across the entrance. Apollo bay is a very busy town being on the Great Ocean Road tourist route. RJR
