The crew of the 44-foot sailboat *Chequers* departs Thursday Island, Australia, to begin a 700-nautical-mile passage to Tual, Indonesia.13:48 Navigating the shallow, reef-strewn waters near the top of Australia requires careful timing through Albany Pass to avoid strong tidal currents and turbulent seas.15:18 The crew maintains a sail configuration of a treble-reefed mainsail and a poled-out genoa to manage 15-to-30-knot southeasterly winds.17:27 During the first 44 miles of the transit, the vessel encounters choppy conditions caused by wind-against-tide, with gusts reaching 25 knots and significant following seas.19:30 The crew monitors for hazards including unlit fishing platforms and shallow reefs while relying on the Windy app for tidal and weather forecasting.14:39 Before departure, the owners verify the effectiveness of their homemade copper-coat antifouling paint by using an underwater camera to inspect the hull, finding it free of growth after one month.11:55 The passage continues across the open ocean toward the Indonesian coast.
