For those following us we will plan to depart for “North” around April 21st and sail to Mackay Marina to do a fast pit stop and paint the bottom again as we want two things 1) to be able to get into a marina in Darwin while I return to work and 2) get 2 years before the next haul, and not worry about it in Malaysia for awhile, maybe by the time we are ready to haul out again we will be sailing for Langkawi where there is a first class haul out facility.

Our new gennaker is ready for delivery and will be tested on the sail north, should be downwind most of the way north.
