1900 GMT: 4.18.240S 113.29.609W
Course 262
Current speed: 4.5 knots

115 Miles. A fast start but wind died again at midnight. At daylight forced to dust off spinaker sail and work out how to fly it. It is the only thing that will work in very light winds (aside from engine!). It is huge and very colourful. Now we just have to work out how to get it down ...

Last night I saw another boat for first time in 10 days. A large ship ... it must have been headed to NZ.

Chris now has two fishing rods out the back after a few bites and no catched yesterday. We did see a big shark crusing around and lot of little tuna but only caught a very small dolphin fish which we threw back.
