RE: Your SitRep

ROMEO your posn, Cody Bank your port bow? Radar shows 'moderate rainfall' your area. Go figure. Travel well.

1:15 pm Skipper Kevin called in. Off Cape Liptrap and making about 6 knots. All are well, seas moderate, people and ship fairly wet from rainfall.

Monday 23rd 

10:00 am Skipper Kevin again 'checked in'. Enterprize made Flinders Island during the night. With a strong so'westerly they decide not to attempt Killiecrankie Bay. Instead they made for Holloway Point where they now ride at anchor on a good sandy bottom. This is on the northeast coast of Flinders and is affording good shelter while all aboard dry out from their Bass Strait passage.
