How far out is the EAC between Syd and jervis bay?

Here you go.

Oh, and I'm sure you know this - you can spot the optimum current by keeping an eye on the water temperature.

Bristol

Depending on conditions you can pick current lines.
The distance offshore will vary along with strength from day to day. It can even double back and have a south to north running current
Going south go wide and when coming north stay in close.

It's not a constant. ie that distance out will vary a lot.

When you find the centre of the EAC it can be a real escalator. It's shifty though.

Thermometers or satellite imagery will help you find it...

This time of the year the current varies a lot from a drain down to nothing at all to 2 to 3 knots either North or South. Pick a decent weather window and sail South. Use your VHF to scan the professional fishermen channels, 14 and 72. They always talk about the current, they may use expressions like a drain down or 2 to 3 bubbles down but it's easy enough to work out whats happening. They will also mention the colour of the water and current lines too. There will be a lot of amateur fishermen everywhere from close in to 40 miles now that it's marlin season so watch out for lunatics.

There is often a drain of current running North in close so it's probably best to go South about 10 miles or so off shore and enjoy the view.

Ideally id like to do it in 1 hit leaving at 3am as theres some moon and possibly calm conditions but i need to baby sit my sick feline until help comes. Crazy I know but we love our cat !

I am aiming to be at greenwell about friday midday or arvo. Will there be a mooring there for me for maybe 3/4 days?

Thanks heaps! Ill call on thursday sometime with a more accurate eta

It really is looking slow. Im lightening the boat down as much as i can.

Hi serge. Id love that. Slightly apprehensive going it alone and have decided to go overnight and not stop so sailingcin company would feel secure. Im sure itll be sweet anyway but ill leave tomorrow morning about 7am from harbour. Be out of the heads anout 8.30 id say. Black hull "kia kaha" name on side. White decks. Bbq on back and bow netting. I pmd you anyway. Kia kaha is my call sign. Not too sure about radio stuff vut i have one and listen to weather updates. Ill monitor the channels ramona mentioned earlier this thread aswell as 16. Hope to see you.

Here is a local chart if you need one.
