Xmas greetings

It does not seem possible that we are thinking of Christmas. We have settled back into Sydney life and the holiday seems a long time ago.

Jane took 6 weeks to find employment but is quite happy as financial controller at Killara Golf Club. She joined at year end so has had auditors under her feet and the annual report to write but with all that behind her she expects to change to part time very quickly. Stephen has been busy managing the bathroom renovations, rekindling a few contracts he had before we went away and most importantly looking for a new boat.

The boat hunting has been frustrating as we had both expected to buy within a few days not a few months or even years. We have now seen too many boats and making a choice is getting harder not easier.

We have had a couple of visitors in the last few months. Ron and Barbara from Townsville who we sailed north with last year and Doug and Julia from Wokingham UK.

Kate and Jason are well and very happy with their new home.

We hope to hear from you all in the next few months. We wish you and your families a happy Christmas and a prosperous and healthy 2007. Take care and write or visit if you have time.

We expect this to be our last update for 2006. Thanks for taking the time to read about our adventure. Best wishes Stephen and Jane.
