Our useless chart-table chartplotter remains broken despite being
reprogrammed and now needs a new motherboard that is no longer available so
we are still without radar to detect incoming hostiles.
We set off from Cairns yesterday morning in lighter winds than forecast and
found a mooring under the pretty lighthouse at Low Islets. We are now
heading north again to Lizard Island. 'Andante' has reported having a bit of
trouble with sails about 65 miles further on from us so we are going to
rendezvous with them to see if we can be of any help.
