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

Hello all.  I’m back in Brisbane, Australia getting the boat ready for the 2012 Season.  New sailing partner Nicola Woodrow and I are starting to get “Beach House” ready to head North and then West.

Final plans for this season are still in flux, but think “lots of miles”……

Hope to hear from you all soon and I’ll update the site sometime this month…..

KIT,

Scott

Dear Family & Friends,

“A Cathartic Voyage…..” The title of the most recent “Ship’s Log” brings me up to date.  See link above.  FIVE  NEW Photo Galleries have been posted – Western Fiji, Vanuatu and Arrival at New Caledonia, New Caledonia & The Isle of Pines and lastly our arrival in Brisbane, Australia….click the photo link above. Enjoy!  I’m all caught up.

“Beach House”  has “Jumped The Puddle” – completing her Pacific Crossing.  We’ve arrived in Brisbane, Australia and the boat will be stored out of the water here for the Austral Cyclone Season.

Thank you Jerome and Nathalie from s/v “Na Maka” for the lovely bottle of wine.  We savored it with a toast to Cindy upon arrival – in celebration of our crossing the Pacific.

See “Position Reports” tab above.  ”Ship’s Logs”  are now current to Brisbane, Australia (November – 2011).

NEXT UPDATE WILL BE IN APRIL/MAY 2012

THANK YOU ALL for the emails I recently received.

KIT,

Scott
