Eric in Langkawi

While I've been working at Broken Hill Eric's been maintaining our yacht "Erica". He's finished sanding and varnishing the exterior trim and has reorganised our computer systems onboard with help from an IT specialist who's cruising Asia as well.
He's been up to Thailand by ferry to renew his visa but the camera packed a sad so no photos.

He's very good with helping others..The Toloyot boat building project in the Louisiades PNG


 Raising money  for orphanages through Indonesia as we sailed through last year and recently helping a swiss cruising couple who organise the clean up of beaches and islands.
Here are a few photos of the beach clean up at Kuha,Langkawi in Malaysia. Apparently about 80 cruisers and locals took part and collected the majority of the rubbish in a few minutes. It has only scratched the surface though.

About Me

We met in 1971 and it was Eric's dream to build his own yacht and sail the world. This became a joint dream but it was not until 1994 that we were able to start building. "Erica" was launched in 2001 after 7yrs building her. It then took us 5 yrs to prepare her and ourselves before leaving NZ to see the world
