On April 22nd (weather permitting), we will be setting sail for Port Stephens, Lord Howe Island, Vanuatu, the Solomon Isalnds and then returning to Australia- possibly via the Louisiade Archipelago of Papua New Guinea. We plan to return to Sydney by approximately the end of October. Hopefully, this time we will still have our mast!
Here's a photo of us in the lagoon (the white speck with the tiny stick mast- which is actually 57ft tall). You can see the shallowness of the lagoon and the small boat nearby is a Dive Boat with tourists exploring the "Comet Hole" which is packed with beautiful fish and surrounded by excellent coral.
The crew will be Dave Kerr (skipper), Penelope Kerr (First Mate), Paul Finucane (crew) and William Kerr (crew). William will leave in late June as he is heading off to Borneo as a volunteer, teaching English in Bario, a highland village. Paul is leaving us in August to return to Australia.
