hi dave and jane,
thanks for your letter. yes, we are still lookin for someone to come with us and teach us how to sail.
at the moment we are stuck in mackay, waiting for the
mechanic to do some
work on our
boat. he is coming tomorrow, thursday and if everything goes well, shaga (our yacht) should be ready to
head to the islands next week. we had to have some of our
sails sent away for
repair as well, hence we can't t tell a hundred percent when everything will be back... hopefully soon.
shaga was built in 1986 and is probably an oldtimer to what you guys are used to sail.
my husband paul and i are 37, our twins are 22 months old. we love good company, are keen surfers, that's was the reason why we bought the yacht, eventually we want to sail wherever the surf is good (not in the whitsundays), we like a drink or two as well once the twins are in
bed, but pretty similar to you, our party days are over.
when do you think you will be in airlie beach or mackay? the best thing might be to catch up somewhere and get to know each other and talk about each others expectations, then we can go from there. if that sounds good, give us a ring on 0420 702 337 in the next few days or when you are in the whitsundays!
cheers, sabine and paul
