Greetings from the Gold Coast!

Here we are, down under, and absolutely loving it. The bad weather did seem to follow us though, as there has been more rain here than in 200 hundred years and poor old Queensland has turned into a disaster zone with all the floods and cyclones. We have fortunately been quite dry and safe. The kids are in school and enjoying all their new friends. I am back in school also studying a Masters in Teaching, it feels strange to be studying after so many years but its great, I can feel those neurones expanding in my brain!!! We have settled in really well here, we are living on land, very close to the sea though. Espumeru is docked at the local yacht club where we put her up for sale. She looks very lonely and she needs new owners ready to take her on for new adventures. For us cruising is over for the moment but who knows what the future brings. We have already met so many lovely people here it will be difficult to leave in 18months time but that is the problem everywhere, we have met so many kindred spirits all over the world, isnĀ“t it amazing.
Niklas has been involved actively in the yachting theme here, racing every thursday at the local club, I again have been exploring my musical side (to Niklas delight) taking up guitar lessons (or should I say sessions) and playing the keyboard. All in all for the moment we are very happy here enjoying life to the fullest.
