Greetings Everyone,
We are slowly making our way south — very slowly — over a fortnight in Townsville where we had the rigging replaced for insurance purposes; four days in Shute Harbour while Phil went to a reunion in Sydney; a week in Pearl Bay sitting out a 30 knot southerly and rolling abominably; a rough bash through southerlies to Sea Hill and then through the Narrows to Gladstone where we are tied up snug in the marina enjoying a rest and catching up with Bruce and Dianne who also shared ministry in the Louisiades and at one time lived there for ten months.
All this time we have been in company with Geoff and Marina Jansen and their son Scott on a catamaran “Island Home”. We met then very briefly before we left Bundaberg for the Louisiades then caught up with them at Rossel Island. They love the islands and the people and have a great desire to return to serve them. It’s as if we are passing the baton!!
When will we be home? Who knows? The elusive northerlies are as elusive as ever.
Phil is 72 today.
God bless,
Pam and Phil
