September 2nd 1700hrs local time
Today has been much the same as usual. The sea is a
bit confused again, and the wind has backed to almost easterly which combines to
give us a fairly rocky/rolly ride. Averaging mid 7's which if we continue will
get us into Cairns at about 0100hrs Tuesday - time for a celebratory drink
and some sleep before facing the onslaught of quarantine and
customs!
Had a stowaway onboard the other night in the form
of a booby bird. Initially it tried to land on top of the mast and all it
succeded in doing was to put the windex out of action. The sea is not kind
enough for me to go up to the top of the mast to fix it, so it will most likely
stay that way until Cairns. Eventaully the booby roosted on the back rail
for the night and left us a huge mess to clean up in the
morning.
Distance to Cairns:-
806nm
