Hi All,
We haven't moved the pin in the map but we have
moved back around to Port Moselle to the marina in preparation for stepping off
to Australia later in the week. It seems we may also be waiting for crew to
arrive as well - Graham called today and offered his services as crew for the
crossing to Australia. This is of course usual for our return home, as Graham
came back from the Louisiades with us in 2009. We hope we can get the planets
aligned so he can join us.
Depending on arrangments, we will probably head off
Thursday morning, to arrive a week tomorrow on Melbourne Cup Day, Hopefully we
will be in time to see the race.
Today has otherwise been a bit strange - on one
hand we are farewelling all of those boats who are returning or heading on to
New Zealand (especially SILVER FOX), and on the other we are catching up with
some new and old friends who are heading off to Australia on the same weather
window as us. The Girls are in kid heaven as they have hooked up with the gang
of four on UTOPIA II, spent their last day with Toby, and enjoyed some time
playing with Bear on OSSO BUCCO, a US flagged motor yacht which has been in the
Pacific with us this season.
So, we are waiting for the weather and the plan to
come together - will see if happens tomorrow!
TTFN
