All is well, wind a bit disappointing because
either it is directly astern or off the port/sbd quarter and varies between
12-17kts so the engine's been on a lot.We've had some very expensive problems
with just the 2 of us trying to use the spinnaker and I get very bored swapping
the pole from one side to the other every hour or so if we pole out the genoa!
Loads of dolphins but little else except americans who seem to spend their
entire time on the VHF and/or HF wireless. Expect to arrive in Kupang tomorrow
afternoon.

So far the rally organisers have done a brilliant
job smoothing out our departure. The Indonesian cruising permit appeared as if
by magic and the visa only took a 5 minute trip to the embassy. Australian
customs only took longer to clear out as we were claiming back the VAT on
watermaker and generator parts.
Just hope the immigration is as easy.
