We have decided to sail to Australia, as soon as we have a good weather window. Lots of boats here that we know are waiting like us for the perfect winds to do this last passage. However, we are in a dynamic area where high and low pressures play around a lot, and it is officially the beginning of the cyclonic season in 2 days. A weather router recommended waiting until Tuesday. We were ready to follow that advice, but our grib files this morning were showing a big low pressure for next Thursday/Friday. It looks like we are still here for a while.
We are off to buy more food and we’ll be heading to some islands with bluer waters and less neighbors.
