27 July 2012 | Fannie Bay

Have been in Darwin 4 weeks, and today is the day. Crossed the starting at 11.00am and we are now on the way to Kupang. if we have forgotten anything, too bad. Crossing should take 2 nights and 3 days. Hoping for a good sail across. Next time I write, it will be in Indonesia.
Postscript: The first week we were in Darwin, we were anchored in Fanny Bay waiting for a berth in Bayview Marina. Bring in a Marina meant it would be much easier for tradespeople and getting supplies to the boat. We needed to come out of Bayview the weekend of 13th - 15th July and put the boat up on the beach at Fanny Bay for a new prop to be fitted. Adam came up from the Sunshine Coast with the new prop and fitted it. Was that was done, time to enjoy the weekend. Back into Bayview on the Sunday. Very hectic final 2 weeks, seemed like we had not achieved anything in the first 2 weeks, but everything came together with the last day before sailing free to give Keri's a final clean.
