Day 7 - Sea Day

A fine start to the day but we are watching a developing cyclone right in our path. Fingers crossed.
A very interesting presentation this morning by the resident marine warfare expert about the significance of the Japanese advance through the South Pacific. The battles of Milne Bay and the Coral Sea held great consequences for Australia.
Early afternoon and the seas are getting quite rough. The Captain has decided to head in closer to the reef to avoid Cyclone Alfred. With a strong south easterly behind us we are consistently doing 20+ knots. Amazing.
A lovely meal in Santa Fe and a nightcap in The Wheelhouse Bar saw the day out.Les mer
