Sliding past the Taninbar Islands

We are now on our downhill run. Heading south towards Darwin. The weather has improved and we are not getting so many squalls, but still holding 15+ knots of wind most of the time, but from a more easterly direction which is allowing us to pretty make our course to Darwin.

Yesterday we past on the western side of the Aru islands and enjoyed 50 odd miles of flat sea and with good wind, were able to sail along very smoothly. Now we are doing the same with the Tanimbar Islands, which are about 100 miles long and it's like sailing on the lake on a nice sea-breeze.

We are now 360 miles to Darwin and hope to be in on Friday or Saturday.
