Rogues gallery

Rogues Gallery - last night on board "Tiare Taporo III" when we farewelled our friends Max Keane and David and Marianna Matzenik. We met Max at the Yorkeys Knob Boating Club several months ago. Max is a yachtie from way back and he even has sailed a Gauntlet in England when as a RAN officer he was seconded there for a while. The Gauntlet was a sail training yacht for the RN. David and Marianna are friends of his and have had extensive sailing experience running super yachts in the Carribean.

We said a sad farewell which unfortunately happens all too soon in this cruising life - always moving on.

Tomorrow we leave Bluewater - always with regret but that's the cruising life.

You'll need to use our Sailmail address for contacting us over the next two months until we get to Darwin but you will be able to follow our progress as well on http://www.tiaretaporo3.blogspot.com/

Wish us luck - we'll communicate again soon but don't worry if you don't hear anything for a while.

With lots of love

Jim and Jean (Gina) xxxxoxo
