Sailing Story - Away on a Whim
Where It Began
The idea was born in the far south of Tasmania, Australia
whilst Mike and I were cruising this fantastic island
state, and has since led us to Northern Australia through
to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand so far.
We hope that our Galleries
and Sailing Adventure
pages containing our Sailing Story may entice you to do
the same one day!

Dalton hopes that with the DOG Match now happening in Valencia, the future of Emirates Team NZ in the America’s Cup will be more certain, once a winner is determined. Notwithstanding more court cases and the lack of wind in Spain, Grant Dalton is hoping to move on. He said: ‘I don’t for a minute discount the possibility of more delays but there’s...
