In just over a week we fly out of Sydney Australia bound for upstate New York.
Two years ago we bought a Diesel Duck that was laid up at Oak Orchard on Lake Ontario.
This year we will recommission her and motor across to Rochester for a repaint and refit as necessary. Hopefully she won't be a can of worms!
We plan to cruise the lakes and Great Loop over a period of years.
For the past thirty years we have sailed up and down the Australian East Coast in our 36 ft steel yacht, so a Duck in the US will be an interesting challenge!
Her present name is 'Gaijin' and she will be re-christened 'Wombat', which is an interesting and deceptively cute Australian marsupial.
Look forward to meeting some of you along the way.
Cheers,
Beth and Richard.
