Thursday
We spent the morning finishing the preparations for sailing north. In the afternoon, a number of meals were prepared for the first few days of sailing. These included stews, pasta, sauces and other meals that are easy to re-heat when underway. We also prepared a number of hard-boiled eggs as snacks for when we are on watch.

We settled in overnight ready for the start north tomorrow morning. The weather check showed we were good to go for Point Conception.
