We have now decided to finish off our sailing adventure and Volante (and little Joy) have been sold (sniff sniff sniff). We are happy that she was brought by another young couple, Ben and Ange from Airlie Beach, who are excited to be taking over from our adventures.
We are now relaxing for a few days up north in an amazing hippy camp in the jungle, with Sarah and Amanda, before flying south on the 16th Oct. We plan to visit Anna’s Nanna (who is very excited) on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria for a few days and then head to Tasmania to visit Anna’s parents before arriving back in NZ on the 6th November and catch up with all of Rob’s family.
Although we are sad to finish sailing for the mean time, we have many happy memories and saw some amazing sights. We both valued the time we got to spend with nature, highlights being the coral reef, mangrove systems, rainforest and whales, and to think about the future and current ways of the world, and also practising our boating skills and meeting lots of friendly people. We’ve learnt a great deal about sailing and ourselves. And even though Anna has turned into a ommpa loompa with her orange tan, and Rob has picked up a boat buying habit...(which could cause him future problems) we loved the experience and can’t wait to get back on the water.
We are now excited about the future and plan to base ourselves around the Northland area as Anna has won a scholarship to study marine ecology at Leigh and Rob will also be looking for work and study options in the Northland area.
We would like to thank everyone who supported us and followed our blog and look forward to catching up with everyone when we get back!
