Don & Deb's Big Adventure Continues in Oz

This little guy was flitting very quickly around, I'd walk closer to take a picture and he'd pull back. As I backed away he'd come closer. So I faked back, he came forward and I snapped the picture :) I think it's called a Ghost Crab. If it is, it's kind of unusual for him to be out during the day. They have upright eyes that can see 360 degrees around but they can't see straight up so they are very vulnerable to birds.

Vessel Name:	Buena Vista
Vessel Make/Model:	46' Formosa Peterson
Hailing Port:	Ventura, California
Crew:	Don and Debbie Robertson
About:	The idea of going cruising started when Deb read the book , "Sell up and Sail" around the time they purchased their first boat, a Catalina 22 and joined Chico Yacht Club in 1994.
Extra:	Last great adventure was traveling around Australia for 12 months in a VW van in 1992, and getting married in New Zealand on the way back to the States. After two years cruising in Mexico, in 2012 we sailed across the South Pacific stopping at many island nations including French Polynesia, the [...] northern Cook Islands, Samoa and Tonga. In order to escape cyclone season in the tropics, we sailed south to New Zealand. We spent 2013 in Don's home country Australia where he worked to rebuild our cruising kitty and I got my 'permanent residency'. In June 2014 we sailed from NZ to Fiji and are now enjoying these fantastic cruising grounds. We plan to return to NZ in November 2014.
