Ship Update #4

DANG RUTTERS!!!

I know in a few months this will all be a distant memory and it' paramount that SAFETY IS FIRST! But Dang the rutter stock replacement has really been problematic in allowing us to set sail! Tuesday night we got the news that the milling and final fittings for the new rudder stocks was extremely slow going and that we are going to be further delayed in our Belfast Dry Dock. The latest prediction for being able to sail is now somewhere around July 20th. They will continue to keep us in the loop - we typically get updates on Tuesday and Friday each week, and being a Founder member, I get addition insights along with other Founder's (small group of about 40 of us, who gave additional funds to have a financial stake in the company and have a share in the company ownership).

AUSTRALIA marks our 6th Continent of this trip around the World! I visited Australia & New Zealand for the first time back in 2016, but we didn't make it to Darwin then - so I was excited to see this time.

A lot of people went to dinner in costume, but the full party started after at 8:30 pm with fun and games first, then the dance floor opened outside. I hand sewed our Pebbles & BamBam costumes.
