[status] Wind, apparently, is prohibited in the Timor Sea between July 23 and July 26. We've been motor sailing much more than sailing....welcome to equatorial Indonesia. Right onschedule, just as we spend our last 24 hours on passage, we have adjusted our sleep cycles and are feeling pretty good on our watch schedule. I've spent my watches, reading Lonely Planet: Indonesia and "300 Great Bread Machine Receipes". No traffic at all last night. I got a little excited when I saw a distant light, but it appeared not to be moving. Fishing boat? Boast adrift? Nope. Oil platform. Oil platforms rarely move. It will be hot today, a cloudless day like the past three. All well on board. Robbie

A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.
