Timshel - Darwin to Lombok Day 7



After good sailing progress overnight, despondent with complete glassy calm by midday. Eventually put away the mainsail as it was crashing about so much - very wearing on both gear and morale. But 25 mins later a breeze from S sprang up and we were able set main and cruising chute on a reach and make unheard of speed of 6 to 7 knots for a while. We doused the chute before dark but unfortunately wind decreased rather than increased and went SE behind us so much slower. Not even any fishing boats around during the night. Still plodding on.
