hello everyone no girls dropping into

you a quick message about our updates

and plans we've heard a few of you

lovely context people contact us through

our Facebook and our other social media

platforms to ask us where we've been

because we have been offline for a few

weeks thank you very much and much love

to you we hope that you are coping in

this crazy world that we are currently

experiencing it certainly hasn't flipped

things upside down hasn't it goodness me

we hope that you are well we hope that

your your family and your loved ones are

well and that your stress levels are low

and that you are managing to find your

way through and and just being calm and

accepting what's happening and just um

you know taking the time for what it is

I actually saw some lovely posts about

how people are actually taking the time

to reflect they're just taking the time

to catch up on things that they haven't

managed to do because most of us work

too hard and most of us are disconnected

and most of us this you know many of us

are stressed so I've seen other people

say and I agree as well actually also

that they've actually been quite

enjoying time out where the world has

stopped and they've managed to connect

with each other and yeah I hope that and

connect with nature like spend some time

in nature or listening to nature on

podcasts or or whatever yeah that's what

I've been doing actually which has been

really nice I'm just a quick update

Darren and I are on a mission actually

and we wanted to share that with you

because I'm thinking that some of you

might find that quite interesting

we've been offline because we decided to

take some time out

Trane's knew about this we went back to

Australia for a wedding and I catch up

with my mum and our family which has

been which was really nice

it was cut short a little bit so lovey

but in that time I was with my mum and

it's become clear to me that she needs a

little bit of help and she is 80 this

year Gor just think well done yeah and

she just needs some help around the

joint and she's not having much luck

with elderly assistants and so Darrin

and I have decided to take what is now a

season off and take serían home to

Australia and get with my mum get a

zip-top give us and help get us sorted

out and get her on a bit a little path

yeah so that's what we are planning on

doing we depart tomorrow morning

actually it's been a crazy time for us

we haven't had any time to put any posts

up I'm really sorry but yeah it's been a

crazy time for a lot of people so I'm

gathering we're all in the same boat in

some form or other absolutely

we managed to get back to New Zealand in

the nick of time before they shut

boarders and whatnot and we came

straight to serían actually there was a

cyclone running before the top in New

Zealand at the time so we were really

glad that we managed to get Sara and get

back to Surrey before that occurred but

it wasn't it wasn't bad anyway we then

we managed to this week we managed to

get her on the hard stand yep and clean

her up because how many years has it

been since seryeong has no point to you

she's she said a good yeah yeah cruises

so we've been doing the anti fell

cleaning cuz the end evil was looking a

bit lackluster and you see you had these

big bags on the bottom of a lie

oh my god it's just embarrassing really

anyway so she's all cleaned up and she

is slick on the hill she is flying

through the water now which is great we

just got off the hearthstone yesterday

fueled up provisioned up which was a

mission because there's the new rules

have come into place you can only have

two or have only two of everything and

we need to provision for two weeks

perhaps three if we get quarantined for

two weeks when we get into New Zealand

Australia sorry so yeah you can imagine

how challenging that was and I we've got

some filthy looks from people because we

were tracking trolleys up and down the

street of food that went from different

supermarkets because we were just trying

to get enough food for our possible

three weeks without food we look like

the painting so people gave me some

strange look so I just had to smile and

and say have a nice day it's sometimes

hard to understand where people are when

you're looking from a different

perspective I can understand I can

understand why people were giving us

weird looks anyway so we're provisions

up we're good to go yeah about the

crossing we have actually managed to

find a lovely weather window that has

the winds mostly on our hindquarter

there's a dirty great high at the moment

sitting between New Zealand and

Australia and we are going to jump on

that in the morning and hopefully write

it as far as we can it is a little bit

of a dodgy passage because it is still

cyclone season isn't it my love nama DS

but I think we've got a Jag a pretty

good window it's enormous big higher

there yeah this is a big high that's

pushing out another low that wants to

come in it's still going to be quite a

bit of strong wind there so should my

make for a pretty fast passage fast

passage hopefully a fast passage the

tears that's not one you want to hang

around in too long

but that's cool and yeah we have seen

actually a little bit of whirligig which

is a little cyclone that is going to be

brewing at the tail end of that passage

so hopefully that one this high will

hold that one out and until we get close

enough to to land so we shall see a

little bit of excitement going on yeah

interesting yeah yes so I have managed

to for those of you who are interested

please and you aren't following us on

Facebook I have managed to get one of

our gorgeous patrons to I'm sort of

giving her some tutoring actually in

about an hour on how how to hopefully if

I figure this out properly with a

satellite guy we'll be able to put some

posts to Facebook while we're underway

on passage so yeah follow along on our

travels I'm gonna put some interesting

blog posts our patrons get hourly

updates and they are on a different

yacht trekker they follow the yacht

trekker and get the early updates and

I'm just going to be putting a theory so

now and then I'm going to be putting

some satellite posts to Facebook so you

guys can follow along and see how we go

cuz um it's gonna be interesting a

little message I would think mm-hmm this

should be we're having an another

adventure another change of plans

another adventure that is what life is

all about so yeah and yeah I'm gonna get

home and sort my mother out hopefully

which would be really good and yeah so

that's it basically a very quick update

from us if you are inclined at all and

you are anywhere near the Brisbane or

Southport area that is where we are

heading for and we're not sure whether

we're hearing a bit of conflicting

information whether we whether the the

days that we're on passage which will be

that between nine and twelve days

possibly hopefully the nine is counted

towards our our cell isolation days

because news Australia's got this thing

where you have to a self isolate for two

weeks

and passage time may or may not be

counted towards that so if you are in

Southport or in Brisbane and you manage

to hustle up some veggies or some fruit

would be great and you can somehow so

else when we arrived we'd be so grateful

because we're probably going to be too

hungry sailors and we're not sure if

we're going to have to do an additional

two weeks isolation when we get

Australia to Australia to South port or

whether the passage time will be counted

because there's conflicting information

on that from border force and Queensland

Maritime Safety so yeah we won't find

out until we get in so yeah we'll run a

little a little thing there on Facebook

and see if we can get some people and

find out some interesting ways to

perhaps get us some quarantine food

we're not getting anyone in trouble

push it up by a floating tire or

something anyway please follow me on

Facebook because I'm we're gonna try and

make a bit of passage fun over there for

you guys so yeah we shall go because

mate rippling absolutely stakes for

things to do before a passage in the

morning so lovely to speak with you guys

truly hope that you're doing alright and
