I had similar issues with MR on my trip North and evaluating my last East Coast sail just setting of from Tweed heading South was far more relaxing by not checking in with them.
The MR have many very dedicated people in their orginazation Unfortunatley 9 out of ten have no idea what is involved in single handing a small SV.
Since you are probably steering toward Cape Byron at this time try to stay closer to the shore once you round it in order to hopefully catch some Westerlies tomorrow morning.
