Catching up with Nine-of-Cups

There are sailing vessels chris-crossing all over the Australian coast. It's the people that you meet along the way that enrich the journey just as much as the breathtaking scenery. We last saw David and Marcie as we sailed out of Streaky Bay. We've been in touch since and we made a point of calling in on them while they were on a scheduled maintenance visit to the Mandurah Offshore Fishing and Sailing Club. We were passing on the way back from visiting the General in Busselton while home in WA last month.

There is not much they haven't encountered in their sailing lives and this year should see them tie the knot when they reach Cape Town. They emphasise that The Med and South East Asia are yet to be visited!

The folks at MOFSC were treated to a talk from this intrepid pair and were asked for an encore the following week by popular demand!
