Darwin - We made it!

Fanny Bay Darwin

We left Cape Hotham at 3am to catch the tides through the channel off Vernon Islands.  We arrived at Fanny Bay, Darwin at about 11am.  Dinner at a restaurant tonight (7 July) and the promise of a fresh water shower and a non-moving bed in a hotel.  The end of an adventure - 32 days at sea, 1380 nm, 52 night hours sailing - dolphins, crocodiles, sea turtles, sea snakes, fresh mackerel and tuna.  It was a delivery trip and we would have loved to stay longer at many of the places we passed and wished we had a better dinghy so we could have gone ashore to explore more when we did anchor.  But now writing this 5 months later we are ready to go to sea again - but in a bigger boat.
