Galleycat has just completed a mega journey of 850nm from Exmouth through to Perth, arriving at Two Rocks harbour for a lift out and waterblast to remove the staggering number of barnacles stuck to the hulls. I now find myself anchored in the shallows off Hillaries B4 taking the yot further South towards a mooring in Mangles Bay Rockingham.
The journey was not without its perils with a complete replacement gearbox needed in Geraldton. The auto pilot stopped working somewhere around Kalbarri which meant we had to hand steer the final 250 miles but we managed as best we could. My m8 Kyron was crew for the journey and excelled at driving during some very ruff weather.
