Hey, we're moving (sort of)

Current position is 26 05' 9S and 155 01' 1E

Yesterday's 24-hour progress was a total of 49,2 nautical miles. Well, a snail would have been thrilled so don't laugh!

As I write this now (three in the morning), the wind has actually picked up marginally and we're sailing, albeit only at three to four knots but, wow, that's Speedy Gonzales stuff in comparison to the previous days. Naturally all this means that we'll be doing just what we tried to avoid in the first place, arriving there over the weekend when they charge overtime fees. It looks as though a very long, slow trip through Morton Bay will be somewhat necessary as, now, we'll have to try to waste time in order to pull up at customs on Monday morning.

Who would have thought that we'd be a whole week out in our estimated time of arrival?

Eight o'clock update: Disregard the above. The little wind we had has now totally disappeared and we are, again, wallowing. Just seen a huge container ship pass close by and were very tempted to beg for some fuel but the thought of that behemoth coming much closer is rather daunting so here we sit.
