[status] We've been having a great sail today, and I wanted to update our position. We have mostly sunny skies, and just outstanding weather. It's rare for us to have this kind of wind so we took the window and headed out for Tual. We plan on arriving early morning on Saturday with about 200 miles to sail.

[status] It's a sad day toady for Field Trip. We are leaving Raja Ampat after almost three months of exploring and diving this outstanding area. Of all of our travels over the past six years, this has been our favorite location for diving and raw beauty. We did our last dive yesterday on another beautiful site, and will be leaving here for our 270NM sail around 8am. The weather should be good for a sail almost the entire way assuming forecasts are correct.

[status] Back at Clayton's corner after sailing Tika Taka down to Malaleuca and staying in the bushwalkers huts for the night the previous night. Great sail down there and a 2 hour row back. Incredible to see the famous spot of Deny and Maragret King. Probably hike up mt Beattie today to put some miles in our legs before attempting Mt Rugby tomorrow.
