We arrived at the Samoa marina at about 9:00am on Sunday (23rd) and the first thing we saw was the mast of Stu's parents boat Ariel - what a welcoming sight! Stu called out 'Ariel', and two minutes later Stu's parents were running over to help us tie Pelon up in her marina berth.
We have now had three days of much missed family time, but the best part is that Stu and Max can go off and do their boat stuff while Bronwen and I can talk about everything EXCEPT boats - bliss!!
We've had a fair amount of rain here so far, although I suppose that's to be expected as the dry season has only just started. It is really hot here (which I love, particularly now that I'm used to having a constant coating of sweat!!) but so good to be back on land and in yet another country that we're looking forward to exploring.
We have also heard rumours that there's a shop here that sells Vegemite...

Hi Stuart & Kym,
ReplyDeleteYour jouney so far is amazing - in this last leg the twins just loved the story of the visiting bird in the middle of the ocean. Take care and travel safely, look forward to seeing you in Sydney. Love Catherine. PS Hello and love to a.bonnie and u.max
Hey Kymmie and Stu
ReplyDeleteNice to see you have finally escaped the mid-Pacific "black hole"....Denise was really starting to worry about worrying about you guys.
Looks like you are on the home straight...thank goodness. Hope the sailing is nice and smooth from here on in (but if I were you Kymmie, I'd hop off in Melbourne for a couple of weeks R&R, pampering, etc) and let Stu and his mates bring the boat to Hobart.
Take care guys
Ray and the somewhat worried Denise
