Well and truly in the Malacca Straits, no wind or in the wrong direction, no
rain too much rain and alot of motoring, it does seem that the elements are
conspiring to hold us back. This morning had a brief moment of motor sailing
now we are just motoring!, oh well there is nothing we can do about it we
just have to hope that the forecast past Singapore will provide more
favorable winds, fat chance!.

We are stopping in Singapore to get more fresh water and diesal and then we
are hoping to make it straight through to Darwin, hopefully in end of
October if not very early November. There we will clear customs and head
round the coast to Brisbane for the final leg and hopefully home for Xmas.

Not much to report really,


Cheers

Mark
