38 37 S, 147 42 E, Approximately 35 Nm East of Port Albert and 70 Nm from Wilsons Promontory. Currently a light easterly assisting as we continue to motor sail. We have now changed the primary fuel filter for the third time (damn messy job) and it seems around every 15 or less hours it needs to be done, hopefully we wont need to change the secound filter as I dont think we will be able to do this ourselves as priming the injectors will be a problem. Will update on reception at Wilsons Promontory tomorrow morning.

37 43 S, 149 43 E, Passed Malacoota and now into Bass Strait. We had to do our first fuel filter change at around 4 am after only motoring for 12 hours hopefully the sea will calm a bit more today to let the fuel settle a bit.
