This is be the page that leads you to all the stories, tales, journals and observations from all of us on "Hinewai" . We'll get round to finishing off all the preparation stories one day, but meanwhile, here's the stories of the trip so far. (or it Queenscliffe?) Finally we get away, albeit only as far as Queencliffe Heading north to Sydney, dodging bad weather or darting into bolt holes, and getting into the swing of cruising. Heading still north to Brisbane, collecting crew (and loosing one to seasickness), Hamilton Island in thermals and on to collect Jean in Cairns From Cairns to the Torres Strait Up behind the Barrier Reef, living by waypoints From the Torres Strait to Darwin Our first long pasage across the top end, arriving in Darwin - and breaking ribs It may have been an enforced stay, but life in Darwin is fun It may have been an enforced stay, but life in Darwin is fun - 2 It may have been an enforced stay, but life in Darwin is fun - 3 - and well ready to leave Traveling again, reaching our first new country, loosing a prop blade
New friends, traveling again, Nusa Lemboggen, Teluk Narah,
the Gili's
Leaving Indonesia, heading north around Borneo; Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei,
racing and free hotel rooms, thunderstorms and being well over lightning Leaving Borneo and a windy crossing to Tioman Island, then onto Singapore. And getting even more well over lightning
From Singapore to Langkawi
Leaving good friends in
Singapore, a quick passage to Port Dickson then onto Penang. Five long
long weeks out on the hard doing all those things Hinewai needed to stay good.
But new and special friends make the time pass quickly and some help us on to
Langkawi
Saying goodbye to Malaysia, on to Thailand for the Kings Cup. Racing and
parties, lots of islands, Christmas and the New Year.
The Indian Ocean 1 - From Langkawi to Galle
Leaving Thailand for a quick stop in Langkawi, then heading west. Passage
life. An unexpected breakage means we have to make a divert to Galle, Sri Lanka
Galle and Sri Lanka
Being ripped off by Customs. Exploring Galle and a little bit of Sri Lanka while
waiting for parts to be made. Elephants bring big smiles to Jean's face.
Meeting Marlin - a good guy.
The Indian Ocean 2 - From Galle to Salalah
via the Maldives
A short but wonderful stop in The Maldives, lovely officaldom, nudges by Whales
and arriving in Asia Minor
Pirate Alley from Oman to Aden
Joining the Vasco da Gama rally in Salalah, exploring Oman, seeing lots of
camels then it's time for the convoy to Aden
From Aden into the Red Sea
The sadly faded glory of Aden, the curse of Qat, refueling nightmare, then off
again. Into the Red Sea and a mad night chasing a damaged and
out-of-control yacht. A happy ending with our first BBQ in Africa.
