Well given lack of means at mo to (safely!) get ashore, we didn't linger too long (16hrs) at Marchinbar... Which was a shame as it was one of the most beautiful anchorages we've visited. Still, onward and forward.

First 24hrs of this leg has seen us progress slightly more than halfway across the Arafura under winds anywhere between 8-30kn overnight.. This equated to lots of playing with sails and speeds anywhere between 3.5-7.5kn! Still, at least when going slowly the fish are biting... Sue got another nice 3-4kg tuna, which Mili was very wary of when still flapping, but enjoyed greatly when filleted. She's such a princess at times! (meaning Mili, of course ;-)
