Well this is the first entry of hopefully a few.
My Fiance and I get married in just under two weeks then head out to Nha Trang, Vietnam for a Sunsail Bareboat charter.

Its with anticipation and some trepidation, we are now in the final stages of planning our adventure through this paradise.
Whilst I have sailed a fair amount over the last few years, I have not sailed on anything as new as(read ..expensive as) as the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37 we have chartered, but cannot wait to take the helm.

The past week has been spent brushing up on my navigation skills as I have plotted our proposed route from Nha Trang north, with Whale Island being our main goal for this trip, however there seems to be so much to see around this area if we dont make it there I cant see either of us being too disappointed.

I have trawled the web for info around this part of the world, but it all seems pretty light on. The Sunsail operation has only just started business in this area and the guide information is good, but by no means comprehensive.
We hoping that on arrival at the base we can get a clearer picture of what ports we can pick up provisions from as currently that is my mail concern.

Stay tuned, I intend to document the whole trip and will be putting all the pics and stories up here.

Soon to be us
