Airlie Beach and Some Really Fun Stuff
After a fabulous couple of days watching Kangaroos on the beach, we continued our journey northward. Our next stop is Airlie Beach. Airlie Beach is a tourist trap. Not that there is anything wrong with that. What is there to do there? Tourism stuff. Reasons for a tourist to go there: First, it has access […]
A Long Reminiscing Post about a Long Journey
The Cream Puff Crew has hit a few milestones. 2024 marked 42 years that Mark and I have been sailing together. In a few months, we will have owned Cream Puff for 14 years. In just a few days it will be 10 years of living full-time on Cream Puff. We tend to forget to […]

Australia!
We have arrived safely in Australia taking about 5 days to cross the Coral Sea from New Caledonia to Brisbane. The whole trip was rather boring. Boring on a boat is a really good thing.
