Monday 23rd June
Things are moving....
BlueFlyer is now in Raratonga, having arrived yesterday without any problems reported.
Crew changover for the trip to Fiji takes place on Wednesday, with the new crew flying out of Melbourne at 4 AM tomorrow, what a time to fly!
Hugh & Val returned yesterday evening having spent the weekend looking at houses. There is a good variety and choice available although the agents are saying that they dont have much on their books at the moment.
Hugh is continuing his excersises and walking, and is making progress, albeit slowly. Next week is the appointment with the surgeon so that will be interesting.
Both Val & Hugh are really anxious to return to BlueFlyer and finish the journey to Oz as scheduled, but are hoping for favourable weather for the last 2 legs.
Welcome to the BlueFlyer blog...here Hugh and the crew will endeavor to keep you up-to-date as BlueFlyer sails around the world for a second time! This time Melbourne to South Africa, then Brazil, through the Panama Canal, through the Pacific Islands and back to Melbourne.
What's this blog about...?
- The BlueFlyer adventure
- This is the blog of Hugh's second round-the-world sail on BlueFlyer, a 49ft Jeanneau. The first trip took Hugh and Val from Dublin to Melbourne in 2007-08. This trip will take Hugh and his crew from Melbourne to South Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal and the Pacific Islands, and back to Melbourne again. Check out all the latest happenings on board as Hugh navigates his way around the world!
