It is our third night at sea and we are expecting to arrive at the approach channel to Kupang at dawn.

 

The sea has been flat calm for a change and so it has been a very relaxing trip with the exception of the noise of the motor purring away continually.

 

We have seen dolphins every day and shoals of tuna jumping out of the water and, at night, the sky has been illuminated with constant lightening.

 

Throughout the trip it has been lovely to be escorted by Sol Maria just behind us on our port side and Larooba behind on our starboard and we have enjoyed a few chats on the VHF radio relaying important information such as what we are cooking for dinner !

 

As of this morning Jackamy were still in Darwin waiting for a new starter motor and so we are hoping to hear tomorrow that they have replaced this and are on their way, Miss Tippy were also at anchor in Darwin waiting for them.

 

Only 9 sleeps until we see the Adam & Kirsty, Amalia & Riley !
