Australian yacht runs late
PA Auckland The bathtub-sized yacht G’day ’BB may have to be renamed Hello ’B9 when it eventually reaches Australia. j The solo sailor, Ashley
Coulston, was last night about 270 km east of Fraser Island, off the coast of Queensland. John Cullen, of Kerikeri Marine Radio, said Coulston radioed his position and said he was sailing in
five-knot easterlies. He could make land in six to eight days. Coulston left Auckland for Australia on November 14, with food and water for 100 days.
