Turbulence makes it to the start line

Eric Marsh and Paul Nielsen Co Skippers of Turbulence

Eric's wife Brenda, who has been ill, has recovered and has given the boys permission to start. So customs was completed yesterday, their bow sticker applied this morning and they left for Portsea at 8am. They reached Portsea at 1:30pm and have picked up a mooring to make their final preparations before getting underway at 2:30pm.

Looking at the PredictWind calculations, they should have a reasonable trip to Gabo Island.
