Back From OZ

Well finally after about six weeks we have enough time to post another blog, life has been so hectic during and after returning to OZ that we haven’t had time to scratch. We are currently in Penang to pick-up new visas for Thailand and then returning to Langkawi tonight to make final preparations to head north again.

A trip back to Sydney is never complete without a day on this wonderful harbour

The trip back to OZ was eventful and thanks to Bernie for his hospitality and generosity in making the stay enjoyable and easy for us to get all the boat bits we needed. For those who don’t know Bernie, he’s the new guy in my sister Sue’s life and he wears himself out spoiling her rotten.
If you've heard how great a weekend at Bernie's is then try a month. Thanks Bernie

It was great to catch up with both families again and share some old and new experiences and it’s good to see that all the nieces and nephews are getting on with their individual lives and moving forward.
Our loan car thanks to Bernie

Unfortunately we didn’t have sufficient time to get to all parts of OZ that we are familiar with and catch up with friends but hopefully the blog will keep everyone informed and we are just an email away.

We keep being told that we are living the LUCKY LIFE, yeah sure Lucky Lucky oh so Lucky
Since returning to Langkawi we have dropped the boat back into the water after antifouling and have since finalised all the remedial works regards the fuel tanks and in addition carried out some improvements and repairs from our trip across from OZ last year and now can look forward to more exciting adventures ahead. From here on the blog should capture the ups and downs of our sailing life rather than the land travel and give an insight into why we do it and why others don’t.
Bye for now.


 Beers and Cheers with bubbles for a triple celebration, Jen's ?? birthday, 15 year anniversary owning Dreamweaver and splashing the day before at Rebak before a night at the Hard Dock Cafe.
