Fw: Storyteller, Day 9

Storyteller

Tue 18 Mar 2008 21:13

Position 08.18S 118.04W

We were able to storm over the half way point with a 206 mile/24 hour passage. For a cruising boat laden with water fuel and stores we think this was pretty good going. We celebrated with French champagne and a special lunch of cold roast pork and salad.

Today is one of those beautiful, sparkling days that sailors dream about. There are no other boats in sight but we are picking up relatively good radio reception on the SSB.
