Dear human race, one final despatch.
After running low on provisions and surviving briefly on a mixture of baked beans, petrol and sugar, wearing only the uncured pelts of komodo dragons and unlucky tourists, we are back in a more or less civilized state.
Following a gruelling Indiana Jones style expedition through stony creek beds and vine-draped jungle, Sonny sighted the first dragon high on the slopes of Rinca Island in Komodo after I nearly stepped on… Continue

Shopping
30th May 2010- Shopping
Dear World,
Apologies for the radio silence, it has been necessary to avoid pirates, hawkers and of course harbour masters. Fortunately our syarbandar (harbourmaster) contact lately has been nil. Despite dressing in our best harbourmaster shorts and thongs and turning up at the appropriate perebuan (harbour) office, they have always been closed.
But we have found other outrageous adventures to occupy our time..... like shopping. I should say…

Hi David, was interested to see Jigal on the beach at Broome (Catalinas?) I had a Tiki21 briefly in Broome before moving to Exmouth where I cruised the coast from Shark Bay to Dampier. Loved the boat but often found it bit small. Sold it and bought a 22' folding tri which had more room inside with the added advantage of being easily trailerable. Sold that when I moved out to Lord Howe Is (weather observer). I may now be returning to Broome sometime this year and am contemplating a larger wharram or another trailerable tri. I remember Broome as being a bit exposed so was wondering what your experience has been with a larger boat, moorings, cyclone season etc. There are 2 Tangaroas that I know of for sale, Salad Days in Carnarvon and Karua on Langkawi Is Malaysia. Both seem to be in good nick and worth considering. Do you know either of these boats? Any feedback would be appreciated. cheers, rob
