On our way again with extra crew!
05 April 2008 | Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia
Well, after 3 months on the Gold Coast we are now under way again. Jason and Loretta have joined us and will be with us until A. they get sick of us B. we get sick of them or C. we all decide to kill each other! For those of you viewing our blog for the first time, welcome and if you are friends with Jason and Loretta we will take good care of them as long as they do as they are told... So far, so good.
We have been accepted into the Darwin to Kupang (West Timor) rally which leaves from Darwin on July 26th. Our plan is to take our time getting to Darwin to allow us all to get our sea legs back and to make sure that we are all confident when we do our first big ocean hop. The rally will take us through Indonesia for 3 months. We will be posting a map of our route and approximate eta's shortly in case anyone would like to meet us somewhere.
Jay and Rainger have been getting great waves at Point Cartwright. Jay rode his 5'8 and because Rainger is an old man he has been riding his Mal. Of course Loz says he caught more waves (not so sure about that) but he did drop in on a heap of locals. Surprisingly enough we were invited back to a locals place for beer and prawns on the deck which we declined due to the fact they may have been looking to get some payback for the stolen waves.
Not much else to report back at this stage, we seem to all be getting along so far, how long this lasts only time will tell. Watch this space...
