Captain's Log

Waiatt Bay to Teakerne Arm today. Left around 8:30 and our first trip through Hole in the Wall. Approached 20 mins before slack and there were strong currents and whirlpools around the entrance. Was about to transit about 15 mins before slack but was getting thrown about a bit.
Mostly motored to Teakerne, and was able to get the spot in front of the waterfall.
On board, myself, Judy, Amelie and Dad
