At noon, local time, Sunday we have about 160 miles to go. Last night we had our first fishing boat encounter made no easier by the fact that my radar has decided to stop working! As the fishing boats increase in number (exponentially) as we close on Sri Lanka the next two nights are going to be interesting. For interesting, read scary.

The sailing has been largely nice with just one more wet squally day. But the north east monsoon has had too much north and not enough east in it to make for a fast passage. To add insult to injury the west going current has been non existent. But hoping for a Tuesday AM arrival in Galle.
