Pastime of Sydney- 2006 Adventures
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!
