ORCV Melbourne to Vanuatu (M2V)
Das Kleine Krokodil.
Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron. Great hosts and very helpful. Thanks to Barry Fitzpatrick, Gerard Clarke, Danny and Ryan Sergeant (who got us a speedy little vessel to play with), we have two © Teri Dodds pics of the first boat out of Port Phillip Heads, just to begin proceedings with.
Team Scarlet Runner thinks it will take them around eight and a half days to get to Vanuatu, based on the current models. At 4pm Sunday, they were off Cape Woolamai - 38.38.48 S, 145.14.26 E, flying and A4 kite, the main and a staysail in 13 knots of pressure, managing 12 knots of boat speed. This is live intel from onboard, BTW... Scarlet Runner started their watch system at 3pm EST. All were having a bit of a sleep (in turns, of course).
BTW, the title is all about the small crocodile - snap, snap, snappy - go deep or cheat and go HERE.
