Voyage of Kabuki

I have recently been in contact with a previous owner of our boat. David and Debra Walkup bought Kabuki in 2004 in Florida and sailed her to the Bahamas. David has written a book about their radical lifestyle change and their trip. He very kindly sent us a copy and I devoured it in an afternoon.
It was really neat to read a bit about our boats history, and how other people lived on board her. It was an honest account and very readable.
I will add it to our nautical library along with my well read Pardy books.
Just thought I'd let you know about it.

Hailing Port: Whangarei, New Zealand
Crew: Paul Bowling and Wendy Smith
About:
Paul and I have been sailing around Whangarei and the Bay of Islands for the last 14 years. We have owned a few boats in that time, ranging from a 20ft Trailer Sailer to a 36ft New Zealand built Eric Cox design yacht. [...]
Extra: Thought this would be a good way of keeping family and friends up to speed with our progress on getting Kabuki and ourselves ready for the big adventure.
