We have been playing abit of a waiting game. One being we would like to say farewell to Einar from Norway. He has been extremely helpful with the use of his car and looking after Split Enz over the past couple of winters. His generosity has been awesome. He's due to arrive tomorrow so I would imagine we will be bound for Greece on Thursday.
As it turned out the weather has been absolutely shocking. We have had every range of wind speed thrown at us. Fortunately we have been able to take shelter not far from the marina where we were formally based.
Last night we were anchored just off Sukosan until at 3am the wind finally dropped and the swell came in causing quite an uncomfortable roll. A quick motor across the bay with the moon lighting our way we were soon sorted. In the end a good night sleep was had.
We are Steve and Ange Northey from New Zealand and have decided there is more to life than working. As both our children are now adults and we have good health, we have decided that it is time to follow our dreams. [...]We have purchased a Jeanneau 49 yacht and intend to spend 6 months of the year cruising.
