Dear All

12 Hours to  go before our departure from Australia to our first stop in Bali Indonesia!  We're at the Dampier Yacht Club sipping a vino and watching the sunset, all ready to go!

We had some good sailing up the coast from Onslow to Dampier, and have had two weeks in Dampier in which to fix all the little problems that always cropped up, including changing all the fuel lines etc.  Excited we are, but somewhow more relaxed than when we left Fremantle.  We have an excellent 7 day weather forecast with medium to light winds for the first few days, and then we get into the south east trades which will take us the remainder of the way to Bali.  The trip should take about 5-7 days, and yes of course we've had all the emotions, but feel very ready to go now,

Think of us as we do our first ocean crossing!

Cheers

Christina and Bjorn.
