[s]Fred, our new Raymarine autopilot, failed at 10.00h yesterday, so we have had to rely on Fredlet, a little 25 year old rubber-band backup!
We have therefore adopted a conservative sailing policy, with emphasis on balance and Fredletâs survival, rather than speed!
Despite that, we have progressed very well and even the sea state seems to be getting a little more comfortable with the beam on swells dropping to 2mt.
At this stage we are still on track for a Wednesday morning arrival in Bundaberg. Have now done 293nm with 536nm to go.[END]
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
