TEKANI II's Log



14 Nov 2011 Ready for Sea
Sailing tomorrow Nov 15. Email and cellphone should work most of the way. Satphone will be on permanently and will always work. Freezer is full, wine cellar likewise...time to get going :-)

I've moved the photo of Tekani Island to the fwd bulkhead...looks much better.

No rush, but I should be somewhere south of the Qld border in about 3 or 4 weeks.

17 Nov 2011 False Start
The small Paguro power plant failed after a short battery-charging run at Fitzroy Island and I went back to Cairns for repairs to a terminally defunct cooling water pump.

Not sure who the Italian inventor was who designed this mini-marvel, but I suspect it may have been one of the less successful ideas of Leonardo da Vinci.

Departing again today....let's see how far we get this time.
