SaltyPaws Sail into the sunset

Lucky Luke and his fellow cowboys have been riding off into the sunset since the dawn of the Western. So far we have seen the sun set over our sterrn most days we set out sailing. This means that our general direction was east, and this took us closer and closer to Austriala. San Torini marks the furthest Easting we will make in the Med. The closest to Australia we have been is 6000 Nautical Miles. As we are turning west, so is the sunset turning over SaltyPaws's bow. The 6000 Nautical Miles to Australia have instantly more than doubled to 14000 Nautical miles. We have done about 20% of the total distance of the trip. Now we can finally say that the SaltyPaws is sailing into the sunset, until that austere moment that we reach the coast of Australia.
