1 nautical miles
Two things for today - since we really did have no wind today - firstly to make the dodger template and secondly to try and find out how to steer King Malu backwards.
Coming out from the berth she swung clockwise again (if it were anti-clockwise this would not be such a problem in our current berth, but clockwise means we have to do a three point turn to get out). When we were in the anchoring area we tried reversing with rudder straight ahead and at other angles of steering. Whatever we did she turned clockwise. Our best idea about this is that the linkage on the outboard is slightly bent and the outboard not completely straight on to the boat. Another day we'll play with that.
We then made the template for the dodger. It will be more of a windscreen than a dodger, but will be helpful for night sailing and for inclement weather and protecting the instruments.
