During the year we have also become members of the Ocean Cruising Club (OCC) - a club where you have to have completed a 1000 mile passage non stop to qualify. We have enjoyed meeting other people from the club on our travels.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our year abroad Newt and cant believe the time has passed so quickly. We are looking forward to our remaining time on board and also to starting our new lives in Sydney.
