Jost Van Dyke to Norman Island to Trellis Bay

After a great night sleep moored to Sydney's House of Peace and Love in Little Harbour, Jost Van Dyke, we got an early morning start and left docks at 7:30. The girls all sailed on Mary Jewell together for their last day on the water. They made a quick motor over to Sopers Hole to provision at Harbour Market for dinner. After they had provisioned they headed downwind to snorkel the Indians off of Norman Island.

After snorkeling the Indians and making lunch on the mooring ball, we departed for our final destination of the trip, Trellis Bay.

With 15- 20+ knot winds, we made good time sailing up the Drake and the girls entertained Captain Stuart and Lucy with countless songs.

We are now moored in Trellis Bay, with all our bags packed, ready for the 5:00 am dingy ride to the airport. Thank you to the parents, Camp Seafarer, and the girls for making this a great program!
