Conditions remain
unchanged, as forecast, 12kn funnelling down the South China Sea into the Java
Sea. As we round the SW corner of Borneo the current is holding us back at
around 1.5kn. Bit frustrating because the wind and seas are ideal for sailing,
bummer they're on the nose.
Fishing still
unsuccesful, so the tinned tuna has gotten a bit of a workout to keep us
inspired for something fresher...
Bligh starting to
believe all our onboard fishing stories are just that! But if all goes to plan
we could get one onboard that'll be as tall as him, and too heavy for him to
lift it for the pic!
Water tanks empty
now, if we can get a good downpour we can fill one in less than half an hour,
but the squalls we have had have passed within a few minutes. But I think
priority for next squall will be crew showers, here's hoping any rain'll last
long enough to both lather up and rinse off!
