From Melbourne to Queenscliff (or it Queenscliffe?)

Finally we get away, albeit only as far as Queencliffe

From Queenscliff to Sydney

Heading north to Sydney, dodging bad weather or darting into bolt holes, and getting into the swing of cruising. 

From Sydney to Cairns

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

Darwin 1

It may have been an enforced stay, but life in Darwin is fun

Darwin 2

It may have been an enforced stay, but life in Darwin is fun - 2

Darwin 3

It may have been an enforced stay, but life in Darwin is fun - 3 - and well ready to leave

From Darwin to Bali

Traveling again, reaching our first new country, loosing a prop blade

From Bali to Lombok

New friends, traveling again, Nusa Lemboggen, Teluk Narah, the Gili's

From Lombok to Kumai

Passaging with fish-traps, Bawean, Kumai River and the orang-utans

From Kumai to Kuching

Leaving Indonesia, heading north around Borneo; Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei, racing and free hotel rooms, thunderstorms and being well over lightning

From Kuching to Singapore

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

Thailand and the Kings Cup

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.

The Red Sea 1

Still under construction - just a little video clip at the moment
