  • Happy Mother\’s Day

    May 13, 2012 (Eastern Hemisphere)

    Dear F&F,

    Happy Mother\’s Day to you all!  Nicola and I have left Brisbane and are now in Mooloolaba.  Tomorrow we will head toward Tin Can Bay in what is an ambitious plan for this sailing season.

    Ship\’s Logs will be updated soon and Position Reports are up to date (see links at the bottom right)…..

    Currently, we are planning on covering 2000 miles north and then west to Darwin, Australia with many brief stops along the way.  From Darwin, we are planning on  joining the \”Sail Indonesia\” Rally and cross the Timor Sea into Kupang, Indonesia.  From there, we will head across the top of the Indonesian Archipelago and into Bali where Nicola\’s daughter is getting married at the end of August.  From there, perhaps to Christmas Island, Australia, Cocos/Keeling Island, Australia and on into the Indian Ocean.  Stops perhaps at Chagos Archipelago, Madagascar and into Richards Bay, South Africa.  10,000 miles in all…..hopefully not too ambitious, we shall see.  All sailing plans are written in sand at low tide.

    KIT, Scott and Nicola
