We anchored at Darwin at 1100 on 13 July 2001.

We had a long overnight approach so we're knackered: but we're pleased to be here. We've been lifted out of the water (it's compulsory in Northern Territories - they are worried about the environmental impact of black mussels) so will stay ashore over the weekend to anti foul Hygeia.

We will relaunch and berth in the marina on Monday.

Hotel tonight + a BATH!
