Following the
near-two year refit in the Yangon shipyard (including a new colour scheme and
new engines), then a couple of months finishing off and shaking down in Phuket,
El Oro is finally ready to cast off for the return to her homeland - the
Mediterranean - via the 200th RYS Anniversary Celebrations in and around
Cowes.
A few days stop in
Singapore to pick up the ocean crew - Kent and I are now joined by Tim, Carol,
Chris, Harry and Chooky - now waiting for that inevitable last minute engine
part required, we'll cast off shortly from Raffles Marina, head south down the
Durian Straight through the Riau Islands, across the bottom of the South China
Sea, across the Java Sea through the Sunda Straight (with Krakatoa) before
popping out into the Southern Indian Ocean and heading direct to South Africa
