Sailing for a change |

That's probably a chance you get only once in your life: A sailing trip round Papua New Guinea and South East Asia on a 14m catamaran. That's a good reasons to leave the bike at home for a change and to proof ones seeworthiness ;-)
I will join me brother Joza und his wife Elli during September in Honiara (Solomon Islands) where they'll hopefully be waiting for me on their 2-year RTW sailing trip. The first target will be the Louisiade Archipelago and Papua New Guinea. The further journey is not yet decided, the Philippines or Indonesia are possible targets.
To visit PNG was a dream of mine for a long time, so I just couldn't withstand to invite myself on me brothers ship as soon as I heard they're heading for that direction :-) My sisters in love first reaction was "No bikes aboard" and that only couse I asked if there was space for a 2x1x1m crate on the deck ;-) The funny thing is that I'm preparing now more as if I'd be crossing the sahara on me own. The list of things I have to bring along is 2m long and includes such essential survival gear as Ikea curtains and swiss fondue cheese.
There's lot more about the ship and crew on me brothers web site (the design alikness is pure coincidence) and also a live report: kudielli.sailingsite.org
