In March 2023, we flew back to Cetacea in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. We had a bottom job (new paint on the bottom) done in the shipyard. We left PNG in May sailing to Indonesia. Half way there, we had a generator heat exchanger go out, so we ended up sailing to Darwin, Australia, which was the closest place we could get repairs made. We found that we got water in our fuel (in PNG) and it caused other problems as well. We got the engine and generator problems fixed and took off for Indonesia again, only to have more problems. So we boomeranged back to Darwin. We have been in Darwin for almost 4 months now, fixing one thing, only to have another thing break, fixing that thing, only to have something else break. And, each time, it takes weeks to get the parts shipped in. But, we have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Darwin!

Finally, we think we are ready to leave again, scheduled for Friday September 13th, crossing our fingers! We do not keep up with this blog site any longer. We do sporadic email blogs now. If you would like to get on the email blog list, just send me an email (GailCorriganW@gmail.com). But, I will update our position and add at least an annual note on where we are on this blog site.

More Later, much later
