Pressing on to Calcutta, VECC.
Looks like the Duenna server might be back up so I ticked on the tracking. See what happens.
Made it to VECC. Nice to be free of the permafig. East of Allahabad it cleared up.

Calcutta moon?
Guess it helps to start the Duenna.
Restarting.
Interesting, I have an aircraft carrier anchored in the Bay of Bengal with a beacon but they said they were turning it off and going fishing somewhere. Pfftt.
Not going to land onboard it and see about breakfast?

Yep, they'll treat you right. Fill it full of gas, cup of java, a sandwich. Just watch out for some innocent looking sailor carrying a cement block...

Slogged into Rangoon VYYY. Plenty of thunderstorms along the way. Feeling a bit seasick.
Never did spot the carrier. A hot breakfast would have been a treat.

Sneaked away for a catnap back in the cabin. When I woke, I tried to spot Krakatoa to the south but it was too far distant on the horizon.
Getting the heck out of here. Someone broke into the plane late last night and took some equipment. They also grabbed the victrola and all the Celine Dion records. Blimey!
WRRA inbound.
Probably one of those Gee Bee drivers. You know how they are.... Celine Dion records? I thought they were drink coasters

Nervously made it to WRRA. Had a stuck throttle on the starboard engine so the approach was a bit tricky. Didn't fly into a volcano either. Truly an exotic land!
Picked up Willy on the radio. Some good company to pass the time.
Note: First segment that I have had a headwind the entire flight. Can't complain.

Finally on the way to Australia. To Darwin, YPDN.
Glad we are in a boat. The mysterious Timor Sea is very sharky I hear...
Made it to Darwin. Off in search of a hot bath and a cold drink.
