'Boomerang' was the name of the 83ft maxi sailing yacht that was to take us around the Whitsunday islands (and back as the name suggests!) and as we jumped aboard we were dubious that it would hold the 28 of us plus another 4 crew members for a whole 3 days! However me and Han were in for a bit of luck when we found our 'quarters' for the duration was one of the biggests beds on the ship (woop woop!) alas... it was also right next to the septic tank so that splis...

G'day again everyone - has been some time since we've managed to write one of these!

Good morning! Well, we thought that we would keep on top of our blogs from now on...so here is what we've been up to the last couple of days . . . Franz Josef - one of the bigger glaciers in new zealand (the other one being Fox glacier - home of the fox's glacier mints!).
