So, 200 litres of fuel on board, 200+ litres of drinking water +40 litres of washing water. Wind at the moment but falling away to 5-10kts over the next couple of days and 335nm to go. Expect to hear nothing for at least five days!
I'm heading for an island called Karimanjawa, which is a national park. I'll probably arrive just as the events finish but the stop after that is a mere 250nm and the festivities start there on the 5th Oct, so I have 8 days to do 580nm. Should do oit but it won't be comfortable. However, at the 5th October stop we're being given 100 litres of free diesel and a free beer on arrival. Sounds like my sort of place.

Right, off ashore now for a last meal and beer, not literally I hope!
