We have reefed down to kill almost 2 days so that we will arrive in Cairns on Monday am. Expect to clean some grounds and investigate why our SSB is not working optimally. Thank you David and Patricia for you care and help in making this a relatively worry free passage. You both do a great job! Ron and Nancy on Always Saturday
