Sailing the Pacific: July 2007
http://katieneale.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Sail away from the safe harbour.Explore. Dream. Discover" - Mark Twain. Thursday, July 12, 2007. Last Day Before Leg 2. Today was filled with having fun with Ang, before I have to be back on the boat tomorrow when the new trainees arrive. I slept in until 9am, and Ang had scrambled eggs, toast, apples and cherries already out for breakfast (how so incredibly sweet)! Oh great. But I'm really looking forward to Leg 2 to begin and to be out on the water, sailing again! Tuesday, July 10, 2007. The weather is...

Sailing the Pacific: In Osaka, and end of Leg 5
http://katieneale.blogspot.com/2008/03/in-osaka-and-end-of-leg-5.html
Sail away from the safe harbour.Explore. Dream. Discover" - Mark Twain. Thursday, March 20, 2008. In Osaka, and end of Leg 5. We are in Osaka, and at the end of Leg 5! I can hardly believe it! It seems as if this last Leg has gone by so quickly, and we have packed so much into these last 3 months! It was hard work, and a ton of groceries to stow, but we did it! Only 1 more time we have to do this (in Hawaii between Legs 6 and 7)! It fits her like a glove, and she was so completely excited and surprised b...

Sail away from the safe harbour.Explore. Dream. Discover" - Mark Twain. Tuesday, May 29, 2007. One Week Before Departure. I was busy in the bilge (the sole, underneath the floorboards in the forward most part of the boat) for most of the 3 days storing all of the cans - literally, hundreds . I am getting nervous myself as the days draw nearer, but I am looking forward to seeing Matt, my family, and some of my friends, who are all coming out this weekend! 4 more days.WOW! Saturday, May 12, 2007. 1930 Begi...

Sunburnt Wanderings: May 2007
http://elskeanderson.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
A redhead's track through the South Pacific and Far East. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. In which Elske enters the world of blogs. I pray this year be one of great sailing, engaging conversations, spiritual challenges and growth, and as Karen so wonderfully puts it - total immersion in the 'obscenely thorough friendship' that is so unique to the boats and salts. It will be a year spent traveling through some amazing places, with endless opportunities to connect with intriguing people, and I'm. And I wish every...

A redhead's track through the South Pacific and Far East. Thursday, October 4, 2007. Finally in Fiji.its gone too fast. So here we are at the end of the leg already. Amazing how fast this leg has gone. Since I last wrote, our stops go something like this:. We found a great rope swing on Rarotonga during our fantastic day of hitchhiking. Congratulations Tav on some excellent form. Aitutaki was beautiful; a tiny little island a little ways off of Rarotonga. Classic.hitching and smoothies. In the end we pul...

A redhead's track through the South Pacific and Far East. Wednesday, March 12, 2008. Thats TWO updates in one leg! Will wonders never cease. Dancing with the statue after a morning of volleyball. Graham`s fine bowling form. Sock mittens and dancing to keep warm. One of Becs sailing shots. Our rope support system. Jordan, Antony and Chase went up the fore, and re-attached the stay with wire and come-alongs. Freighter companions.this was a big one. It was chilly, this is me as a human blanket. We were all ...

Sunburnt Wanderings: December 2007
http://elskeanderson.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
A redhead's track through the South Pacific and Far East. Thursday, December 27, 2007. Madang.oh how great that name is.PNG at its best. After a few days in Lautoka we headed to Waya in the Yasawas (a 4hr motor away); a secluded and remote bay village shaded by a towering green mountain and surrounded by rolling hills. Some Waya homes; a beautiful village. A view from the top. You can see the boat in the first bay. The infamous fire dance. Photo fun with some of the kids. Most of the dancers were clad in...

http://elskeanderson.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
A redhead's track through the South Pacific and Far East. Saturday, June 23, 2007. Hello all. Well here we are in Hilo. Hawaii. The passage ended up being 20 days, and we docked last night by quite a large barge at around 3am. ( Im. Cafe at the moment so I apologise for atrocious spelling and/or choppiness.). In Forward watch with Antony who is hysterically funny, and with whom I greatly enjoy discussing all things Africa. With me in probably the greatest watch of all time is Christina, Nouri. The last w...

A redhead's track through the South Pacific and Far East. Saturday, July 7, 2007. And now, FINALLY, some photos for your enjoyment: (The first few are from the first long passage, the ones mixed in later are more recent.). Banjo-ing it up in the stern. How I love this instrument. The fiddle has come out a few times too - its been a lot of fun to have it onboard, though its so hard to keep it from getting too damp! Jose, Quinn, Tav, and I: Giddy at 14000ft. We stayed for sunset as well which was very neat...

A redhead's track through the South Pacific and Far East. Friday, September 7, 2007. A quick hello from the Cooks. Well this will be short as Ive already spent far too long at this internet cafe, and although it is delightfully air conditioned, I really want to leave. Ill give a super quick once-over of where we've been, then Ill concoct some fabulously detailed update later on. (By the way Im sorry about the lack of photos, theres no way of uploading them here.). A lookout along the way. Very neat to le...
