Going to America

Well my bags are packed and I'm ready to go (good words for a song). I'll try to get some sleep, and then it’s a 2 1/2 hour drive to Sydney Airport first leg to Auckland NZ then on to San Francisco. Then the fun begins finding my boat.
If you don't bag me to much (what seems to be happening lately to others) I will try and keep you updated on my search and travels. First Job in the USA, search the SF airport for Bestfreind.

LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN.

Hope you like flying, finding BF should be the easy part of the venture. Best of luck for the boat search & looking forward to the updates. Enjoy.

Simon-

Have a safe drive and flight, let us know when you go feet dry here in the states, and good luck boat hunting.

BTW, go to Jiwire.com and get their Wifi hotspot database on your computer, so you can check in.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Simon,

Best of luck to you! I'm sure I speak for others when I say that we stand ready to help in any way we can. Keep us posted and bounce your questions our way. From what I know of Bestfriend through his posts, it sounds like you're in good hands. Safe trip!

Have a safe trip Simon... Good luck with the search. Funny you should say "Well my bags are packed and I'm ready to go (good words for a song)." because it pretty much is a song....

... are you leaving on a Jet Plane!

Best of luck (with BF and your boat quest!) If your quest brings you to Vancouver, feel free to call.
