Despite the best efforts of all concerned I have survived with all limbs intact. Still awaiting diagnosis on the mental facilities, but they don't matter too much
And yes, before you ask, I was good. Not a single sproglet landed in the tide. The photocopier however, is a different story altogether
Anyway, we took a tour around Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Noumea, then another to Whitsunday Isl, Cairns (and stayed overnight because of rough seas that kept us from going to Port Douglas) and a sail-past Willis Isl, populated by birds, trees, and two meteorologists.
All in all, t'was a fun experience (aside from a few attacks of seasickness) and who knows, I might even do it again some time. But I'm quite glad to be home.
