Jacksonville, Florida. October 2006

This blog is dedicated to our daughter Abigail who has been looking after our affairs (and Charlie the Shar pei) in Australia for the last 5 years and attending James Cook University. We love you very much.

A very hectic time so far with so much preparation for our intended departure date of November 1st. Circumstances and the weather are conspiring against us with delays to the upgrade of our nav station and replacement of standing rigging, however we are assured all will be ready!

As the boat is not in a liveable state, we have been very fortunate (for us) to be staying with Bob and Karen from Annabelle 2. Many thanks.
