Great Barrier Reef

There has been no wind worth speaking of and so we have been motoring very
slowly through the Coral Sea to save fuel. I've no real idea how far we can
go when the tank says empty but I think we are going to find out real soon.

Not wishing to seem like complete slobs when we get to Australia, we made a
bit of an effort yesterday to tidy up and wash down a few things, although
there is no disguising the fact that we have become a floating junkyard of
equipment that has not survived the battering of the last 15,000 miles at
sea.
