I am off by 'plane to Auckland to see my little cherub, Garth, who is coming out for a wedding. He is only 35 and already he can get on a 'plane by himself. Don't they grow up so quickly these days? I will also visit Iain and Vicky, first met in the Galapagos, who sailed from the UK in a 28 foot, 100 year old boat with two tiny children. They are now land based and are so poor that they have to work. Perish the thought!
I spotted this bottle of Jameson in a local off license. What fun. And in the reception of the RQYS a superb restoration of a 12 foot youth sailing dinghy first built in the 1920's.
Back soon and it is then time to head north to Fraser Island, the Great Barrier Reef and the Torres Strait
