Darwin is closer

26 June 2013 | 11 01'S:132 33'E, Croker Island, Arnhem Land, NT, AUS
Every day has us rising early, pulling up the anchor and raising the main, and spending the day sailing to another achorage just that much closer to Darwin. Our sail today is 73 NM, to Somerville Bay on Croker Island. The exciting deep down wind sail was adventurous, with the main crash gybing during the sail causing the traveler car to blow apart and the preventor went flying in pieces all over Sea Child. At anchor by 1650, Eric was able to put everything back together. Crazy big seas with a steep chop down wind sailing.
