HISTORY

In 2002 we ventured from New Zealand to the South Pacific in Pewter,and travelled approximately 4890 miles.
In 2004 we again ventured to the South pacific and travelled 6990 miles

Then we sold Pewter and bought Charioteer and since then we have travelled approx 14606 miles.......and we are still sailing.....The next destination has yet to be decided...China or back to Japan...decisions, decisions.........
In all the miles we have travelled we have been very fortunate......we have only 'nudged' a couple of reefs...(and both times Brian was on the wheel!!!!)
we have laid on our side in Australia waiting for the tide to come back in,we nearly lost the skeg from Charioteer, we broke a shackle and our code zero sail took a short swimming lesson, the main sail drive motor broke,as did the alternator, the GPS, the laptops...and of course we 'broke' a marina in Korea...
But otherwise we think we have done pretty well
We are still here in Mokp and thoroughly enjoying ourselves.....on Friday we are taking part in a parade on water for the Mokpo Marine Festival....should be fun.
Onbce the computer is up and running again we should be able to show photos......
