Today is a Waisai marina day, with much frantic use of
the internet for reading, writing, downloading.

There is some sort of good-ish news. Abu Sayyaf have released Tess, the only
female hostage from Ocean View. They
still have Kjarttan (Norway.) And poor
Tess is shattered, no doubt, and bereaved.

On the SV Labyrinth Facebook page today, I read Jase’s
account of sailing down the coast of Western Australia. Worth sharing!
Sailing
south down the WA coast in winter against the Fin Whale northerly migration is
kind of like driving across the Serengeti at night with no headlights
surrounded by invisible elephants who you can only see when they suddenly jump
10m in the air.
Jase, by the way, has published two novels recently – The Silent Circus, very weird and
evocative (WWII), and A Dirty Peace
(East Timor.) Worth a read, both of
them.
