Actually the A30s are further along & probably past the Reserve.

The A30s have been spread out while they travelled west. They got just shy of Blinkhorn before they turned back to the east. Very foggy this morning so thanks to Stubbs Island for this report.

After a satisfying rub the A30s turned back to the west and have just passed Critical Point. The fog lifted for 1/2 hour, glorious blue sky & sea, now a sunny grey day again.

The A30s finally wrenched themselves from the area around Robson Bight and moved on to the west. They are past CP & the entrance of Blackney Pass and continuing westward.
