Hi all, at last we have a little wind we can use albeit motor sailing but with lower revs (1800rpm) since 0700 this morning we have been moving along at 6knts+, are are looking hopeful to get into Darwin on the 5th November, at present we are about 500nms off the Darwin outer marker.

The diesel situation was always going to be tight, but only tight we weren't going to run out but with the wind at present we are easily going to make and, then we will have a couple of days R & R then straight round to Brisbane with may be a couple of fuel stops on the way, just so that we can keep the speed moving at a reasonable pace. I'll drop another report on the diary page in a couple more days when we are a lot closer.

Happy Sailing

Mark
