July 18- morning

We left alert bay at o8:00 on our way towards port Neville.  Winds are down to 17 knots at fanny island ( near our destination). However at the moment we are into our third hour of motoring due to little wind. 

Crew did great job on our reverse- spring out of the slip. We did not hit the 'dearleap'; google it, it is an 80 ft wooden yacht built in 1929. This boat came in late last night and rafted beside a fishing boat at the slip entrance, reducing our escape route and giving the skipper more anxiety than usual!
