Latest satellite postion of the Spirit of Mystery.

While the weather continues to dominate proceedings down under the Melbourne Water Police are hoping to send a boat out to meet the Spirit of Mystery and take off Pete Goss' brother-in-law, Mark Maidment. It was hoped to send a helicopter but, as his condition is said to be comfortable and an airlift always a risky exercise in heavy seas, the boat will continue towards her destination before rendezvouing with the rescue craft.
