Full circle: back in Melbourne

Well guys, my time in Australia is about to come to an end. Tomorrow I am off to Singapore. Australia has been great, and I’m sad to go, but its a long way home; and my visa runs out on Sunday!! I got to Melbourne on Tuesday, hopped on the plane from Cairns, where I was relaxing after 10 days at Sea!! Yes folks I’m now officially a sailor! Check me out! The 007 in full flight ! Bring on the sheets!

I spent 7 days, on a yacht called the 007, learning to sail in the Whitsundays, a beautiful set of Islands, 74 of them in total. We had great sailing weather, 20 - 30 knots some days, rain, sun, wind, calm, we had it all. We lived aboard for the 7 days, so we did some night sailing too, which is a interesting feeling. After the weeks training I had earned my Competent Crew sailing Cert. something I’ve wanted to do for about 10 years!! As well as the sailing there was plenty of time for Snorkelling on the Reefs , chilling Whitehaven beach, dolphin, shark, ray, turtle spotting, and drinking and BBQs. Yes of course we had a BBQ on the yacht, this is OZ!
