The crew will be Dave Kerr (skipper), Penelope Kerr (First Mate), and William Kerr (crew). William will leave in mid July as he needs to get back for the second University semester.
We cleared Customs at 1500 Thursday and need to leave Australia by 1500 Friday. We hope to leave Friday morning. We will wait until the currentl strongish winds subside and head off. The next low pressure system is due Monday or Tuesday so we need to be several hundred nautical miles away by then.
See ya!
Dave, Penny & William
Pastime of Sydney is off sailing again in 2007. A somewhat smaller trip this year compared with
almost seven months away in 2006.
We are sailing from Pittwater to Coffs Harbour, where we hope to clear Customs and Immigration
during the week of July 2nd (slipped a week because of delays fixing a last minute problem). It will then take about seven days to sail to Noumea
in New Caledonia. From there, we hope to circumnavigate New Caledonia in a clockwise direction,
taking in a number of the less-visited villages on the Northern part of Grand Terre. We
will also be visiting the outlying islands including the Loyalty Islands.
We hope to return mid to late September.
