Position: 3º 30.09′ S 100º 47.148′ E Last position was incorrect. This is our current position. All is well.

Position: 3º 17.1′ S 100º 26.952′ E We are underway!! We are heading towards Cocos Keeling, with a possible refueling stop on the way.

Position: 2º 59.55′ S 100º 31.548′ E On passage. Our first night out was a bit rough: engine overheated, alternator stopped working, VHF/AIS/Radar voltage drop (overheated). We did get the sails up for a few hours and that’s been pretty nice. I’ve managed to solve everything but the voltage drop and I think that’s immanently […]
