Hi
Sorry for the delay in writing, but time has been a bit tight for us, not only getting ourselves ready, but also helping out the other boats. This has been a learning curve for quite a few of us....
It's now Friday September 10th at 2200 hours, and only 12 hours before we leave Australian shores!
This week has been chock-a-block with more preparations: Weather briefings; Passage Planning; Safety + Sea rescue talks; Life Raft demonstrations; and Tropical disease, stingers etc lecture.
At 1500hours today we, (and the boat) passed through Customs Clearance, and had our Passports stamped.
So our leaving now feels more final.
After tomorrow and due to the remoteness of the area we'll be visiting, mobile or internet access will be absent.
So check this Blog again at the end of October/beginning of November where we may be back on line.
In the mean time try google earthing the Louisiades. We will be exploring Misima Island; Panasia Island; Nimowa Island; Bagaman Island; and Hoba Bay. Just to name a few.
Our boat is very full, with every storage space taken up, not just with our gear but also containers loaded with medical equipment; books; fabric etc (donated) for the local school, clinic and hospital on some of the islands.
Will send photos as soon as we can.
Missing you.
Love Gabrielle and Greg
