Lilibet

Having once again signed on I had an eventful month getting the show on the road with the least amount of time and we had headed for Singapore with just enough to make it to Singapore roads. The start was a bit rough with winds from our stern-quarters and as we approached Singapore I snagged a fishing net in the darkness just at the approaches of the Strait. The engine started vibrating and would not get up in revolutions so I shut it off and continued with 3 engines online.

Falklands Islands

Never having visited Falklands before it was an exciting prospect having only wondered about it as a kid watching the World chart on top of my bed that was gifted by my uncle. It used to be my pastime to look at funny foreign names on foreign continents before falling asleep. Well, now looking at Falklands map closer it was all English names interspersed with an occasional Spanish name.
