Hi everyone,
Today we went out to watch the start of Fremantle Sailing Club's
Wonderful Indonesia Fremantle to Bali Race & Rally. We're not taking part since our boat is 3000nm away as you know! It was a beautiful day with a light easterly breeze. You can follow the progress of the fleet at the
YellowBrick tracking page.
The day started for the skippers and navigators with a weather briefing. The weather for next Tuesday looks interesting, with 30 knot breezes and squalls up to 45 knots.

Once out on the water we found
Duyfken amongst the spectator fleet.

The fleet is being accompanied by Southerly, a large motor yacht. They'll be motoring north at their 12 knot cruising speed, stopping occasionally to let most of the fleet catch up (and to fish).

We managed to get photos of some of the participating yachts.
