A 150-mile coastal passage down the Australian east coast from Coffs Harbour to Nelson Bay (Port Stephens) aboard a small catamaran, with a weather window closing fast — 35–40 knots forecast for the following day.1:08 Adam and Luke depart with only 20 litres of diesel after neglecting to fill up at their previous stop, a mistake that forces them to motor through a wind hole overnight rather than wait for the breeze to fill in.0:32 At 3:30 a.m. they drop the mainsail and run on genoa alone to simplify sail management ahead of building winds, reaching 22 knots boat speed in 24–25 knots of breeze on the final approach.9:40 A wind-vane self-steering system (referred to as "Nettie") handles the overnight miles.3:55 The crew explains their anchor swivel setup in detail: a shackle-chain-swivel-chain arrangement that prevents side-load failure, necessitated by a mismatch between a 10 mm swivel and their 8 mm chain.4:57 At Port Stephens they anchor on the north side of Shoal Bay to shelter from shifting westerly and northwest winds.17:57 An inverter failure, attributed to water ingress, is noted.11:36 The propeller falls off on departure — covered in the following episode.25:31
