Leaving Cocos Keeling

Hello Everyone

Since our last email, we have snorkelled 'the Rip' a few more times, had
sharks swim alongside us, beautiful coral and colourful fish! We claimed a
small island with just a few coconut trees overlooking stunning turquoise
waters as our own by flying the union Jack. We hosted a BBQ on Direction
Island with the guys of a boat called Bronwyn and Twister, provisioned up
and welcomed the World Arc fleet to Cocos Keeling. The past few days have
been pretty sociable with happy hour on Direction Island.

We had a great stay in Cocos Keeling, despite being a tiny little atoll in
the middle of the Indian ocean it has so much history! Its completely
Idylic and before we knew it 6 days past by so quickly!

We have now left Cocos Keeling and are embarking on our next passage, so far
we have good winds! We have a new radio network with a number of other
boats doing a similar route to us, which is always nice! Earlier we heard
the Cocos Keeling police announce over the radio that they were about to
destroy two illegal immigrant boats that were towed in a few days ago, so
that was a bit of drama on the waters for us.

So far all is great onboard! we'll keep you all updated on our progress.

Love to all at home
