To go to           Kupang Indonesia 1334nm

We are now over half way to Kupang.  I doubt that the second half will be as fast as the first but we are not complaining.

We managed another good 24 hours of poled out genoa and winged main, the wind conveniently going round as we gradually altered course to line up for the Bligh Entrance to the Torres Straits Passage.  We put 2 reefs in for the earlier part of the night but were able to shake them out later without causing too much of an issue to the off duty watch.  The seas have definitely moderated which helps in the shaken and stirred stakes.

The Chef created a bake in the Remoska dish from a frozen Bouef Bourgione covered in sliced potatoes which went down well.
