Monday 25th October
2010 towards Buman River.
0700 up anchor and left after a very uneventful night -
thank goodness. Motoring into a very light head wind. Once we
were clear of the island started generator to make water, the Desalinator
then decided to play up! Changed pre-filters (already changed in Danga
Bay and not used) got good pressure on the low pressure side and
started to make water. Set Mainsail and motor-sailed. Wind headed
us so furled mainsail.
1300 now have full water tanks, motoring into 20 knots
a bit lumpy, tried to set the mainsail but it will not unfurl - another job
to look at. Managed to set the staysail just very close. Not too
worried about the mainsail as we have plenty of fuel to motor and can always
set the headsails when the wind is favorable and of reasonable strength.
Not a terribly pleasant trip we had 20 knots right on
the nose with a choppy sea breaking over the bow most of the day and a foul tide,
plus rather grey and overcast. Found the anchorage in plenty of time
and anchored in 5.5 metres of water.
Position 3:49'.40 N 100:46'.83 E
Distance run 67 miles average speed 6.06 knots.
