Long White Cloud has proven to be a fast yet comfortable cruising yacht and is custom built of New Zealand Kauri.

We have amassed a fair number of these now, and they will make a great collection when we return home.  Before departing the USA we purchased the neccesary fabrics - the ink and paints have been onboard scince leaving home - to make the flags for the countries we intend to visit on our final leg to New Zealand. Its fun (well at least watching Paula at work is!!), saves money and fills in time when stranded in port waiting for good weather. The flags for some of the Central American countrys prove to be a bit more challenging. Paula's earlier years as a graphic artist come in handy here.

Woke this morning to see wild horses grazing on the bank about 30 meters off our stern. We are tucked in behind Cumberland Island which has a park with hiking trails so will take advantage of that and stretch our legs while we are here. We have very cool conditions here at the moment as a cold air mass, courtesy of Canada passes through the area. Expecting sub freezing condition (of record proportions according to the weather report this morning) for the next couple of days. Hope to continue later in the week.

It's history, it's architecture, gardens...it simply exudes southern grace. Paula Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:13:08 -0600 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/lwc?xjMsgID=74227
