I'm 190 miles from Sydney and Ive got 230 to go. Had a better day today, great sailing all day with wind 12 to 14 knots and Sapphire making around 6 most of the time which is a good speed for this old girl. I hit 7.1 knots at one stage but decided I didnt want to break anything so eased the main out a bit. Saw amazing false killer whales an hour ago, about 8 in a tighht group arching their glistening black backs out of the water in unison, passed behind me they didnt stay just headed into the sunset. (so I didnt get a picture) Had a couple of nanny naps during the day and the Hydrovane has been steering perfectly
Cooked my dinner of rice and a tin of mild curry meat and veges. Not bad. Weather forecast is OK, no wind warnings for Met Area X so hopefully no dramas tonight. I was trying to decide if I"ve ever gone this long without seeing another human...how about you?

Its funny how the scene outside is basically the same every day except for clouds. So far so good.
