When I woke up, I found myself in a hospital bed and a regular beeping sound coming from a machine nearby, and a few minutes later a nurse entered the room. “Hello young man, it is good to see you awake finally, you are in hospital, and you have been in a coma for the past nine weeks, do you remember what happened?” I was informed and I tried to think, but I had no idea why I was in hospital. “Do you know your name?” the nurse asked me, and I thought for a moment, “It’s Hugh I think, or som

“It feels strange crossing the Cook Strait in the opposite direction and in a bigger vessel,” Simon said to me and I nodded my head in agreement. When we finally arrived at Picton, we woke up the boys, and with our luggage in hand, we located a taxi and made our way to the two - 5 star apartments accommodation, that Sara had found for us, with the lads and Simon sharing one apartment, and my brothers and I sharing the other one. Late the next morning, after we had all had a good sleep-in, I

“We might head up north to Exmouth for a week, to do some exploring, that way you can concentrate on your studies, without any twin disruptions” Seb said with a big smile and I chuckled at his comment, it is nice up there, remember that it is summer time so it gets very hot up that way, stay well covered, drink lots of water, and have plenty of water and food supplies if going away from any main towns” I said to Sebastian. “Sounds like a dangerous place” Seb commented, “It is, and can be de

“I had it refuelled and washed yesterday, so your car is ready to go” Annette annnounce as she gave me a kiss on the cheek, and gave me a little shove towards my vehicle. I waved goodbye and climbed in, and I was soon on my way heading for Perth and on to Fremantle, with the clock in the vehicle ticking over to 7am, as I left the Rectory. Nearly two hours later, I finally arrived at the ferry terminal on the river at Fremantle, during the journey I called the ferry company and booked two ad

In just one day, we managed to move the yacht a total of five metres, almost one quarter of the way to the water. It was very hard work, and we needed regular rest stops to get our strength back, with each pushing session lasting for twenty to thirty minutes. I knew we could do it. We had achieved so much already, with getting the yacht up onto the pipes, and I battled with fits of displeasure from the crew at the hard work, and tried to encourage them to look at what we were trying to achieve -

I decided that it was time to do some more exploring, and once we had eaten lunch, I announced to everyone that we were all going to go and do some exploring. I asked Simon to get the dinghy ready for all of us. Once we were all on board, I steered the dinghy around the east and about ten minutes later we arrived at East Island. We spent about fifteen minutes walking around the island, which had nothing interesting to see, so we climbed back into the dinghy and headed for North Island. Like

When I arrived in Toodyay the following morning, I walked to the rectory, which I found locked, knowing that Kyle would be at school, and Annette was probably in her office, but after a quick look there, I found that locked too, so I sat down on a bench on the back veranda, and dialled Annette’s mobile number, which went straight to message bank, “Hi Rev, it is me, I have arrived home, and you are no-where to be found, I have left my gear on the back veranda, I will go for a wander around town t

“Huon, good you are here at last, come and meet Jose” Margaret said when she saw me entering, As we shook hands, I felt that I was going to like this young man, he was very handsome, tall and he appeared to be strong. “Hello, its good to meet you at last, I have heard a lot about you, since I started working here” Jose said with very good English, and I was a little unsure how to reply to that, since I had only just learnt about him. “I hope it was all good things that you heard” I ended u

Reluctantly I read on to see what it had to say. “The Norwegian flagged ship – Southern Explorer arrived in Albany yesterday, after completing its second supply run, from Albany to Cape Town, resupplying six subantarctic research bases in the Southern Ocean, with four of them being French, one being South African and one Australian. The Southern Explorer, will set off again at the end of August, for another supply run, and will remain in South Africa till early March till it makes its next suppl

Seeing the tea towel, I carefully moved the kettle off the stove, and this is when I spotted the tea pot on the bench, along with a cup and saucer, and I smiled. Seeing the kitchen cabinet, I saw a number of cannisters, each one clearly marked, Tea, Coffee, Sugar and Biscuits, so I made a cup of tea and sat down to drink it as I continued to look around the room. After a few sips of tea, I stood up and looked inside the cabinet, where I found plates, bowls, cutlery, as well as sealed containers,

I headed upstairs to the fly bridge, and Simon followed me up. As I unlocked the door and stepped out my mouth dropped open when I saw what was surrounding us. “Holy cow! Where the hell are we, Skipper?” Simon said as he saw the same view as me. “I have no idea, Mate, but that looks like…” I began to say, stopping so I could retrieve the binoculars. I looked through them to the distance, and I slowly scanned the area around us. “Ok, we have a total of four islands, and by the look
