Hi John - long time no hear but certainly good to know you've landed safely in Tunesia - of all places - hopefully the weather is better than Europe right now - lucky b….. :-)
I think it's a wonderful idea of having the flags made in Monastir - make two for me please - one for keeping and one for use :-)
Here the sailing season is long time over. Brise's hull below waterline is being fixed this winter as well as the rudder hinges. They were in surprisingly good condition.
At Xmas I've managed to get a chance to sail with a Sun Odyssee 42DS out of Hobart Tasmania and before returning to Dk will do some sailing out of Brisbane too. Boring? Yes I know. But as a friend of mine said: the biggest problem may actually be the mast pointing down - will let you know later if it really is such a big problem down under :-)
Fair winds, Ole
PS You not going to the Indian Ocean, right?
