First day at sea.

It was a rough start. We finished all the formalities and tidied Balaena and then had a last delicious meal on the shore.

At 4pm we dropped the mooring and motored out into a fresh wind and choppy sea. By the time we had sailed down to the south tip of Bali we were all a bit queasy and unfortunately even when we could sail our course with the wind it was still uncomfortable and we have all felt a bit rotten.

Now I have got my sealegs and Karsten is much better, only Clemencia still feels poorly. At least we are sailing fast and making excellent progress.
