Taiwan Cruising...Kaohsiung






Tomorrow we head north ...actually we are heading south first and then north up the east coast of Taiwan. There is a rally leaving from the top of Taiwan...(Kee-Lung...Bisha Harbour)...for Ishigaki Japan and we are joining it. For a change there will be more than just us out there on the ocean.
Kaohsiung has been a pleasure to visit. The people have been great, the scenery fabulous and the food just amazing.
We took the fast train (300k p h) to Alishan where we were going to watch the sunrise, but it rained...so instead we saw mountains reaching through the misty clouds.....but it was a great trip.

  1. hi!I am Tina.Thank you for inviting us to visit your sailboat. It is a precious and unforgetable experience. Welcome to Taiwan and Koahsiung.^^ I have been Lanyu isled for one week, and I think that Lanyu is a seclused place from the world. If you have time, maybe you can plan to go there,and you will see many nice people and nice scenery.
    Wish you have a good time to travel around the world.

    ps 1: Today is Matsu's birthday, so you can see many traditional activities. It will be more bustle than Thursday. :P

    ps 2:welcome to my photo album about Lanyu

  5. Hi you two

    What's happening. Just to let you know I head for Saudi next Thursday. My passport is still in Australia getting it's visa. They hope to have it all done and couriered to me by next Tuesday - cutting it a bit fine. I have left the boat on the hardstand at Norsand in Whangarei where it will undergo some of the four page list I have left with them. She will be a very different beast when I return in about two years time. My new contact details are: maknight.nz@gmail.com and maknight_nz@skype.com. Do you have a skype address? Take care of yourselvs and perhaps there may be an opportunity for me to visit you both next year.
    Love Margaret
