We have just made it to the half way mark (670Nm to
go) in just under 4 days (3 days 22hours).
So far we have managed to sail most of the way, and
the wind has been better than expected.
Trouble is that according to the weather
forecast the wind will be okay for about the next 12hours then come round
onto the nose and drop to about 5knots for the next 4-5 days...
Yukk...
That means we may have to motor for most of the
remainder of the trip, and we don't have enough fuel to do that!!!
So lets hope the weather files are a bit wonky and
we will get better winds than they are predicting.
Please keep fingers crossed.... as I think the
Australian VMR (volunteer marine rescue) charge a hefty sum for bringing fuel
out to those stupid enough to run out!!
