Mon 3 Jun 2013 05:26

It is now aftenoon on June 3rd….so less than 24 hours before we take to the air to begin our China adventure. Not sure how we will do with internet there but will try to keep the blog up to date with our happenings.

Back to home base on-board Sea Mist in Rebak end of day on June 24th; then a couple of weeks of recuperation before heading off for 2 months of family and friends time in Canada!....YEA>>>YEA!!

Cheers to all…the wandering crew of Sea Mist
