This is a daring adventure southace.

Your Telstra 3G coverage is obviously working quite well.

Telstra is the way to go but my navonics on ipad also dropped the top end charts...lucky we had the open cpn as back up or else we would have had to gone to paper charts!! One small cruising ketch passed at 1500hrs also heading north kinda junk style hull.

Well yes only if you step outside from the air-coned wheelhouse! Actually it's no worse than anywhere else in oz.

May be it is an Australian refugee heading for Indon so as to come back as an illegal boat person seeking financial asylum??

Weather map on the TV news showed cloud in the S.E. corner of the gulf that looked a bit nasty. Otherwise fairly clear skys and no steep pressure gradients.

Check B.O.M. for latest synoptic barometric maps.

Just had a look and nothing dramatic up there for the next 4 days.
