[status] 3 hour sail from O'Briens Beach at Cape Le Grand to Lucky Bay, which is 7 miles east as the crow flies or 15 miles when you are tacking into the wind. And what a pretty spot this is, aquarmarine seas roll onto pristine beaches and lap around rocky outcrops.

[status] Anchored off Fitzroy Island, motored just a few miles here today from Cairns to remind us how ghastly wind on the nose really is. But this island is pretty and the water is beautiful.

[status] It's been an uneventful motor/sail the past 24 hours. The biggest items we have to watch out for are logs and the occasional FAD. Believe it or not we passed a FAD in 3,500m of water, and that rattled us a bit as we didn't thing the locals put homemade FADs that deep. Regardless by the FAD we hooked up with our Mahi Mahi in years...so that was fun! We plan on arriving tomorrow afternoon to Sorong.
