[status] Lighter wind today, varying between about 8 and 14 knots. This combined with unfavorable current is setting back our eta a bit. Also a bit grey with a little rain. Not the best weather for our 20th wedding anniversary, but it did rain on our wedding day, so maybe appropriate. Love you madly Lyn!
200 nm to go, so we probably will arrive at Gold Coast seaway late tomorrow night or early hours of Friday.
Decided to motor this afternoon for a while when a rain cloud took away the wind, exhaust sounded dry and no water coming through. This happened before, ironically last year about a day from Australia. Impeller was okay but changed anyway, still not working. After about an hour of checking everything, tightening hose clamps and priming it eventually started working.
By the way, not the best of days for our 20th anniversary:)
