So here is the news to everybody that has been
asking and asking, what will we do in the future?
We have had some serious discussions and have come
to this.
We are not keen on sailing the Indian Ocean (would
have if we could have done the Suez), so it will be avoided if we can sell the
boat here.
The boat is still for sale but we will lower the
price to make her more attractive.
The family feels very very sad about leaving her
but the cost of shipping is outrageous and we
have not found any reason to bring her home and
just have her after spending that money. A boat of this size needs love, lots of
love.
She is the best now, has never been better. All
systems are working great and we have caught up with maintanance. But as you
know, it is a boat.
If we do not sell before April we will sail her to
AUS and check things out, before that we need to know the costs of
importing etc.
Hopefully we can afford (depending on the selling
situation) to explore Australia on wheels for a month and then fly
home.
Get settled and be wherever we going to live close
to Stockholm and Andreas can start first grade, Erika can continue her
school.
So thats the plan now, and to us it feels like
things start to move fast. Strange.
To circumnavigate has never been important, we feel
we are priviledged to have experienced the southern Pacific more than we would
have done if we would have moved on.
Stars in the water? Sea fire is intense now
(mareld), so intense that it glitters in the water just by ripples.
Amazing.
