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.
