    Up at 5:30 and away at 6am with first light. Pleasant Easterly of about 10 kts.
    Sails up once we had cleared the harbour.
    The varied lights of Fremantle gave way to a rather colourful dawn.
    Easterly stayed in at about 12-15 kts , so a very easy broad reach up the coast.

    Lancelin was going to be too far to complete in daylight. Not wanting to come into the anchorage in the dark as there is a lot of reef immediately offshore.

    Berthed up at Two Rocks marina. Marina was built in the late 70’s/early 80’s to accomodate the Sun City development of Alan Bond. Sun City never got off the ground really, so as a consequence the marina is very much under-utilised.
    We went up to the small IGA minimart and topped up on a couple of provisions and had an ice cream.

    Lesley cooked up a very tasty dish of fried salmon, sweet potato mash and broccoli. Washed down with a beer and a vino.
