We decided to have a few days break at this lovely
bay. The sailing has been great, until about 10 miles out from here. Until then
we were averaging 7.1 knots. Coral Bay has a resort that welcomes people like
us. We had a walk on shore, a swim in the pool and a excellent meal with friends
from other boats. We cannot swim in the sea because of crocodiles. We saw the
tracks of one on the beach, but not the real thing. Today we'll set off for
Darwin. A tricky stretch ahead with tides and currents. About 110 miles to
go.
