How it started

This is Winkali.
Last year Ian and I decided to buy a yacht.  We would sell our "things" give up our day jobs and sail to far off places before we got too old.

We found Winkali in Yamba and sailed her to Cairns last December.
Since then, Ian and I have added equipment and stuff to get her ready for the big event.





















Of course, if one decides to go off sailing, it helps if one knows how to sail. . . . . .

This is Ian, who knows how to sail :)                                                        

Ian doesn't like having his photo taken so he always pulls faces if he knows I'm taking his photo.


Just to even things out, here is a photo of me.  I also don't like having my photo taken but I love taking photos.













but it isn't all fun and games.












We are now in the process of disposing of all non-essential items such as cars, trailers and cement mixers and buying other essential stuff such as fish hooks, triangle shaped sheets (to fit our boat shaped bunk) and lots of rice in case we get lost in a storm and have to live off survival rations.
