To reach a port we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift.

Perfect conditions for sailing all day - a steady breeze on the beam, and not a cloud in the sky. We can't remember when we last had such conditions!
Meanwhile I've been editing our photos of the last 5 years, since Panama. What a job! It's wonderful to go through them. But it's particularly seeing photos of friends we've made along the way that makes me want to weep at the thought we may never see them again.

[status] Sailed from Flinders Island to Morris Island. Yesterday, the wind blew from 3 to 26 knots, from the South West to the East. Had visuals and VHF radio contact with Australian Border Force in a fixed wing plane (Twin Otter?). From memory this is the anchorage we first saw SV 'Saraoni' back in 2008.

461 miles to go to New Cal, motor-sailing in pretty nice conditions. We
could be sailing, but we want to keep our speed up. Seems we're always
trying to beat something into port. This time, it's just winds forecast to
get a little stronger and a little more on the nose.
