Hayley's school work is currently focused on persuasive texts. In her current module she was required to make an advertisement for Antarctic Ice. Hayley thought making a 30 second TV ad would be fun. Acting team was recruited (from another boat as well as ours) and the director set to work!
This one did not go to plan. Rather than follow the crowd and go along with the Sail to Indonesia Rally fleet to Banda Nera, we intended to day hop along a series of islands from Kei Kecil to explore the remote and seldom visited northern coast of Seram in north western Indonesia but the weather didn’t play the game. After a first night stop at Pulau Kur where we were unexpectedly met by machete wielding youths, we struck out north for a short passage to an island where we had identified three likely looking anchorages. Unfortunately the wind and swell conspired against us making all of them untenable, so we elected to sail on through the night to a Plan B but, when it and then Plan C also didn’t work out, we were forced into coming up with a plan D. When we did finally find shelter add in getting summoned by local officials and having Police onboard and this episode makes for an interesting tale. We hope you enjoy it.
This is one of three galley layout options being offered.  This option is for a wide open lower countertop and one upper cabinet unit. This is really well suited for having countertop cooking appliances, which is our plan. Another options is to have the upper cabinet and then a lower cabinet under it in which a small microwave could be housed. The final option I have to clarify with James and I will update this description when I find out.
