       Very slow going on LK and I'm still 740nm from nav point 1!

       Like LK, there's not much to say from IG either!  We drift
       downwind.

       I've manage to pick up a couple of hours on B9 (think he still
       has my number) and I'll keep banging on East until after Bali as
       that seems to be where the pressure is.
       The main thing I've learned (from B9) is that Polish is worth
       more than a Code 0. Polish 1%  on all points of sail, Code 0
       used for 150nm (Sth of Ceylon) and 3x the cost.

       Ran aground.  That's lost me 3-4 hours as I'll have to back
       track another couple of hours as it couldn't have been a worse
       location. Must get better at setting my alarm. or figure out how
       to use way-points/programming. :'(

       ... having said that, I've always wanted to go to Bali.  ;D

       Oh no, another contestant for our hairy trophy (grounding) :)
       As a previous winner of this trophy (multiple times), my advice
       is:  way points are more accurate, but you have to do the maths
       to calculate wind angles.  Programme course changes are easier
       but subject to drift, especially with an on-shore wind and
       weather change.
       Hope you enjoyed your time ashore.

       Actually I found it was a bit too touristy on Kuta Beach, so I
       just turned around and left ...

       Bad luck, Carl, but doubtless you gave them something to talk
       about.
