A good day motor sailing still hugging the coast of India.

We past Goa during the night and wished we could have stayed for a few days as it bought back memories of our holiday a couple of years ago with Paul & Jan & Malc & Sandie.

It was Mark’s watch so he had the job of weaving in and out of the shipping.

My watch followed and was a game of avoiding the fishing fleets which were so dense ahead of us that it looked as if we were approaching land !

It is now early morning and all is clear, we are 170 miles from Mumbai and are expecting to arrive in around 24 hrs.

Many of the rally boats are already in Mumbai and have been very happy with the agent there who is handling check in procedures and refuelling.

All at a cost of course but hey, it’s only money !
