Mainly uneventful

On the crossing from Darwin to Kupang, Indonesia. There wasn't much to report, the winds were very light and on the nose for most of the way. This is when it's a good time to have a big six cylinder diesel in your boat. Progress was slow going in the aid of saving fuel but we did have a small visitor who stayed for the day
.

The remainder of the journey was much of the same UNTIL KUPANG. If anyone was to ask me if it was advisable to arrive at night I'd have to say no, it's not a good idea... We did. The amount of unlit fishing buoys, nets, platforms and boats is incredible! At least the boats are all single cylinder diesels with no silencers so you can hear them coming. The main source of nav light is a strobing white, red, blue light if they have any at all. WELCOME TO INDONESIA
