Pushing the limits. Sailing Alone in the Australian Coral Sea

I’m on my way to the Herald Cays, two tiny islands out in the Australian Coral Sea. But Reykja is wrecked. The motor of the windlass crashed. Shortly later the V-belt between the steering wheel and the hydraulic broke. Spare parts are difficult to get and take their time. But I can’t wait at anchor for ages. It would drive me mad. So I am pushing the limits and start this expedition. I will need to find solutions and improvise with the broken technique. But that’s sailing.
