Blog entry One 1 Sept 2008.

Jack says: Hi Folks, report one, we are berthed at the Coronado Bay Marina in San Diego waiting for the holiday weekend to finish so that previously ordered work can be completed. Murphey's law has kicked in as an inverter to change electrics to world wide current was found to be faulty so work continues.  Moving from this impressive marina will be hard however we intend to depart on Monday next, Tuesday down under, to fuel up with 2000 US gallons or 8000L, and cross the pacific to Honolulu.  It is interesting to note that the pacific is twice the size of the Atlantic and covers two thirds of the earths surface (64 million sq. miles).  The mariana trench is almost three kilometers deep or 1.6 miles deeper than everest is high, heck, we will certainly have no place to anchor so we will need to keep steaming. Roger and I are doing all the work while scott keeps getting way laid by the American females and won't share.  We are all packing on the weight dining at the best restearaunts so the wives better smarten up by the time we get home. Love to all from jack…

Roger: Love and best wishes to all back home and Maureen, please show peppa my photo every day so he doesn’t take my arm off when I get home.

Scott:  G'day all, well good news today, the average age of the crew took another drop from 57 down to 50 as we have managed to convince Brian, Speedbirds young fit mechanic to join us on our first leg over to Hawaii.  Roger and I are dealing really well with the jet lag but Jack cant seem to choose the right staircase down to the bunks and ends up in the engine room where he then tells the good Lord’s son all about it.  Thank you all for reading and please stay tuned!
