Sirocco Of Oz - Darwin - Bali Day 6 Sunday 7th Sept



Ok folks the wind as finally filled in, we had a good sail last night (Saturday) and likewise on Friday, currently we are under screecher only and sailing along at around 7 knots, we tried flying a reefed main but it made no difference to our speed as it was blanketing the screecher too much. We could try the kite but its getting late in the day and we don't fly it at night in case the wind picks up, the screecher can be handled by 2 crew...

All good and providing the wind stays with us we expect to just make Bali by fading light Monday, every hopeful !!.

Other news:

Friday as the sun was setting and we were eating out last bit of Tuna we got a hit, after a bit of a battle in came a nice 1.2m (4') Spanish mackerel - nice eating.



Yesterday tried a poled out jib but the downlaul for the pole is in the wrong place - will try and fix in Bali
