What I didn’t mention last time, is that my German friend Christina was to join me in Auckland to discover New Zealand together! We had first met in Canberra in January and then managed to catch up during my time in Melbourne. We even travelled on the Great Ocean Road and visited the Grampians[...]]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 16:05:00 +0200 a0e79ef94f8fe5f1c734732e419f7ece North Island - NEW ZEALAND http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-23568918-6.html#anchorComment http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-23023350.html

Just after posting my last blog entry, Rick and I left Abel Point Marina to get anchored few meters away - just in front of the artificial lagoon of Airlie Beach. Later, Rick convinced me to go ashore for a couple of cocktails so we jumped onboard the brand new dinghy and motored to the sailing[...]]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2008 06:44:00 +0200 013fe850fe7ccff311c93c7f06a09d7e Queensland - AUSTRALIA http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-22642512-6.html#anchorComment http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-22356918.html
Just back from more than a week spent out in the sea – the entire time… I can’t remember when was the last time I spent 8 days deep into the wild – without any human contact (except into our own yacht of course !!), without phone range, internet, money…. I just loved being far from any kind of[...]]]> Sat, 30 Aug 2008 01:58:00 +0200 46423f1916539ff6014fd141cb44a7b5 Queensland - AUSTRALIA http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-22356918-6.html#anchorComment http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-22017353.html
I just can’t believe we left Hervey Bay 10 days ago… already !! No need to say that I’m still absolutely delighted to be a crew on Marutji – we’ve already been to some great places and the future is looking even more exciting ! So before I’ve got too many gorgeous pictures and incrediblestories[...]]]> Sun, 17 Aug 2008 01:11:00 +0200 2f380d34e468b769999b4e0627db7e54 Queensland - AUSTRALIA http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-22017353-6.html#anchorComment http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-21749384.html
After Magnetic Island, I went back to Townsville and started job hunting… The following morning, I joined a group of French people to eat my breakfast with them. That how I met Julien who told me about the sailing boat he was hesitating to get on… The skipper had called him the day before and[...]]]> Tue, 05 Aug 2008 03:17:00 +0200 87261fc4ba00f7c2e9d4adeb69617d87 Queensland - AUSTRALIA http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-21749384-6.html#anchorComment http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-21749340.html
As mentionned in my previous article, I have eventually made it to Magnetic Island now that the sun shines again. And it really was worth the wait because I’ve fallen in love with this place. As soon as I arrived, I knew three days would not be enough – so I booked two more nights in my[...]]]> Tue, 05 Aug 2008 03:04:00 +0200 d632f92effc8d182f2f350c36abb2720 Queensland - AUSTRALIA http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-21749340-6.html#anchorComment http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-21444954.html
Since my last article, I’ve left Agnes Water (a really small and relaxing place – you can find the pictures here ) and after 10 penible hours on an overnight bus, I arrived in Airlie Beach – the day before my sailing tour. There, I met Eva. She’s Spanish, and travels down the East Coast between[...]]]> Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:54:00 +0200 8ba4b91f09b58e0780faf252bff45901 Queensland - AUSTRALIA http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-21444954-6.html#anchorComment http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-21198916.html
So. I’m back from one of the East Coast highlight : Fraser Island. According to the guide books – the largest sand island on the world. Theoritically, there would be there more sand than in the Sahara desert ( try and imagine that !!). It’s been a really pleasant adventure, shared with very[...]]]> Sun, 13 Jul 2008 09:00:00 +0200 aa8ff0c61f16695db7c852d6bb06bf27 Queensland - AUSTRALIA http://pretarever.over-blog.com/article-21198916-6.html#anchorComment
