Correcting a
mistake!
25:29S 112:20E
Third morning at sea
First a big mistake on my part. I put N and
not S for the latitude yesterday, thus we are shown somewhere in Mongolia at the
moment. My error entirely. (How do I get round the
world?)
All well on board, trade wind type sailing all last
night with just enough wind. The moon was up just as the sun went down so
another night of lovely light. Early this morning we gybed and from now on
we will be getting further and further from the Australian coast.
337degrees is the course and 978 miles to the northern point of Christmas Island
as I type. Nothing nasty on the weather forecasts. I will leave you
in peace for a couple of days unless anything interesting happens.
