Looking at the progress map Shaun finally got taken east last night. He was really positive about this as yesterday he put in some hard slog! He is now approximately 600km east of Australia and so is roughly a quarter of the way! The plan from here is to go slightly more south, around 35deg S, where the winds prevail west.
A quick physical check sees Quincey feeling a 9/10 however the rash on his bum is pretty horrific as is the state of hands which are rather shredded. He also has a solid 2mm growth of beard on his face! And in case you were worried, his gap can still fit a $2 coin!
Unfortunately the weather for the next few days looks fairly average with some strong easterly winds forecast but with the aid of the sea anchor, supplied by W A Coppins Ltd, he shouldn’t be knocked back.
