We are now half way to Australia heading for the Port of
Mackay
Our position is 18:35s 157:10e
The weather has calmed and we will be without wind tomorrow if
not tonight
We have resting on the spinnaker pole 2 Boobies that have pink
feet - just now another missed the pole and crashed onto our canopy before
flying off to try again
Our communications with the fleet are difficult as our SSB is
playing up and we may need to replace it in Oz
One vessel is being towed into port by a second rally boat as
their engine has packed in - another is being escorted in as they have very
limited battery power and through the Great Barrier Reef I think you should not
rely alone on sail power
We shall enter the Hydrographers Passage Tuesday so looking
forward to that with some trepidation
Could make Mackay Wednesday
