Timshel - Darwin to Lombok Day 2



Some large dolphins came close in the morning, always nice to see them. Adrienne was still close by. After the morning SSB roll call and doing some navigation we got a bit more wind and hauled up the cruising chute, probably its first outing in more than a year. We sailed at a respectable speed with it set on a reach for nearly 5 hours until the wind went away. Australian Border Force Aircraft 22 flew over and called us by name on VHF - presumably they got us on AIS. They wanted to know our rally number, registration and voyage details. We then heard them call other rally boats. Big brother is watching you! Wind died to less than 2 knots, and we ended up motoring all night.
