The First Week

Well after boarding at Sydney we found our cabin and found that our bags were delivered very quickly. It was decided that the "domestic duties" ( unpacking) could wait and after lunch we went on deck to enjoy the Sailaway through Sydney Harbour - as beautiful as I remembered.
Two days and we embarked in Melbourne - meeting Megan for coffee, then Liz and Leanne for lunch. The next night was a bit rough and Peter came down with his first bout of seasickness.
He had recovered by Adelaide and once we docked we were met by another friend - again a lovely lunch and time to catch up.
We we're then told bad weather was expected , so a change of plans - full steam ahead for Esperance , where we will anchor to hopefully wait out the storm.  We now expect to arrive in Freemantle 1 day later. Unfortunately Colombo has been cancelled, and we will go straight to Dubai from Frmantle.
Gale force winds expected, so hope Peter will be ok.
