Have you ever had that occasion when you are making good progress and


then you are brought to a shuddering halt? Well, that's precisely what


happened to us today when the Nautlius' progress through the Torres


Straits between Papua and Australia was stopped by all things a


sandbank! Of course it wasn't until quite late in the day this was the


percieved wisdom (prior to the discovery everything from a major


mechanical fault to being pulled backwards with the same force as we


were generating forwards by a whirlpool) but it means that we are


likely to be stuck here for a good five days or so (which is not a


complete disaster as we are located quite close to a small island and


to be honest I think I need to stretch my legs a bit!)
