[w] ene 9-11kt, 1019 bar, almost no cloud, 1mt slow swell.
[s] As predicted, the seas have calmed and the wind has backed from SE to ESE, through E to ENE.
The last 24 hours we have been sailing/motorsailing dead downwind in 11-14kt and with moderate to gentle following seas, a very pleasant change from the earlier beam on 3m swells.
The wind is expected to clock further round to the NE this morning and we hope to fly the RSA asymetrical proudly for most of the remaining trip.
Rubberband Fredlet is still putting fairly new Raymarine to shame and we are hopeful of arrival at Bundaberg on Wednesday morning. 281nm to go. All well on board![END]
To reach a port we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift.
