We had a mini-submarine movie fest this evening with 'The Hunt for Red
October' followed by 'Das Boot'. It all seems so much more real when you are
actually at sea in a small vessel and as Skipper you get to shout orders
like "Just one ping" and "Prepare tubes one and two".
The wind has been a bit variable but we are making some progress now towards
the Australia coast.
You may have spotted a few typos with my blog position reporting recently
which can't be fixed until I get internet access but obviously we are still
in the Eastern hemisphere and East of Cairns, unless the GPS has gone bad
again.
