While that was done Ines took the opportunity to visit her family in Switzerland. She enjoyed the knee deep snow! She was also very pleased to get back to 30 degree temperatures. Our plan was then to sail back to Phuket. However the boat which at times seems to have a mind of it's own, decided otherwise! We are still waiting for spares and at the moment the engine if fully disconnected. We hope to be mobile again by the end of March.
Mean time we have been making plans and they are now coming together. We plan to fly to Hong Kong in April where we will help our friend Mike prepare his boat, which is called "Touch of Class". We will then sail South with a final destination of Auckland towards the end of the year.
Hopfully we will have more news and more adventures to report to you soon.
Till next time Best wishes from Phil and Ines.
