Leaving Las Vegas 10 September 2012 (Eastern Hemisphere) Dear F&F, Well, \”leaving day\” is always a bit of a challenge; this one was no exception! After taking on and filtering our questionable quality diesel fuel and getting dock sedentary-itis for three weeks. I\’m always a bit in waiting for the \”other shoe to drop\” mode.

16 – 19 August 2012, Eastern Hemisphere Dear F&F, Well we arrived in Medang Marina (which wasn\’t really a marina!). The \”dock\” was completely exposed to the wind and sea and looked like a bucking pony ride at the fair. We opted for a mooring which unfortunately wasn\’t much better. The facilities were lacking to
