Passage across the Indian Ocean

Dear all,

We are having an eventful passage across from Cocos. The wind has been
favourable, but the past 24 hours have been 25-30 knots on the beam. The
windows have been shut and it is very stuffy down below. The cockpit has had
a couple of rogue waves jump into it!

A couple of days ago we had autopilot problems and we were looking at having
to hand steer to Rodrigues - this wasn't a nice thought, and fortunately in
Al's chandlery we have fixed the problem.

We are making good progress and have less than 1300 nm to go!

Hope all is well at home,

Lots of love,
Ocean Lady
