All systems go!

Friday, 14 September 2012

Well the last 10 days in Cairns have flown and we are leaving for the Louisiades (in PNG) tomorrow morning. It has been a great learning experience with the rally organiser and other participants (16 boats in total are going) sharing their knowledge.

Today we cleared customs and the weather looks great (touch wood).

We won’t have mobile or email access until we return to Australia around the end of October.

Our son Ben will be updating this blog regularly and also http://skipr.net/ using updates from us via Satphone. No photos unfortunately until we are back.

The rally also has a website that will have information about various events. http://www.louisiades.com/yacht-rally/2012-rally/

We are looking forward to finally starting the adventure, however I will be relieved when the passage to PNG is over (should take 4 days 3 nights if all goes to plan).

I look forward to your updates. It should be a wonderful sail...particularly up amongst all the islands of the Torres Strait. Happy and safe sailing.
