Good morning from Lions Head. Just a quick update to the blog. Day three sitting at Lions Head marina having tea and watching the sun rise over the escarpment. Day one was a night sail to Hope Island uneventful,  but interesting not being able to see what the shape and the size of the wave is that is coming at you. Day two was the big crossing. Picked a good day, winds started off light and did some motor-sailing out of Hope for an hour or so then sailed and then motor-sailed again for another hour. The remainder of the crossing was under sail with winds from the NE at 10-12 knots. The wind shifted to NW 10-15 later in the day but I managed to make the headland at Lions head and sail to the marina. Didn't spill a single beer.
