Hello/Goodbye Sydney

November 17  at 3:15 p.m.

Sorry we didn't post yesterday. It was an at sea day and a little dull. We got into Sydney this morning.  We left the boat to go through customs again and then got back on.

We will sail today at 4:00 p.m. for New Zealand.  This will be a little further south in the South Pacific than we have been before.  We're not talking the warm friendly South Pacific everyone thinks about.  We are going to be in the no-man's land between Antarctica and the rest of the world.  The only difference between this part of the world and the Antarctic Ocean is a line drawn by oceanographers and penguins.  I don't think we will actually encounter either of these groups, but you never know.

The next two days will be at sea and we might not have access to the internet.  If we do have access, uploading photos might not be possible.

One thing I really have to do is get some more jigsaw puzzles when I am in port next.  I'm tired of the only four available currently.  I meet a lot of really nice people working the puzzles though.  Oh well.

Rob is going to try and post some photos before we leave port.
