Off to se the Wizard of Oz!

Howzit everybody, this is our final BULA (hello) and VINAKA (thank you) from Fiji. Tommorrow morning we set sail for Brisbane, 1200 nautical miles away. Thats FAR. We may stop halfway in New Caledonia, this will depend on our morale, fuel, water, need for surf and the weather. We are a bit nervous as this will be our first long crossing without crew, just the 4 Shimminators!!!! Chantal has come up with a 3 on 3 off watch system and I think we will make it work. This time of the year we are unlikely to get hit by really bad weather, but it would be nice to have some good winds on our final leg to Australia. We are going to try and enjoy it as much as we can, as I mentioned before, we are finishing our journey in Oz. So I am not going to babble more now, but I will try send a daily update as our cruise progresses. Pray for good winds and a flat ocean. No more squash zones PLEASE!! Trevor can you please send us Bob Mcdavitts latest weather thingy.
Totsiens
