For the next three months, Hans, Anna and I were kept busy with completing all the requirements for getting the business operational in Australia, and while this was happening, the three other crew members were able to get some casual work down in Fremantle, and they remained living onboard the yacht, and spent 2 hours a day, 4 days a week, training the three trainee sailors all about sailing on the yacht, as they would be returning home, when their visas expire. Mum and I had agreed to acco

Ok, now that I know what that means, alot of the events in rodeos are considered dangerous, and so these days riders are often wearing protective gear. gloves, helmets, and chest plates.

Christmas for our family was once again a small event, exchanging small gifts on Christmas Eve before dinner, and a Christmas Day lunch, the first in our new home, and with no guests booked into the cabins for New Years Eve or Day, Mum elected to join us for the trip up to Mogumber for the rodeo. Lance was in attendance again, working as a rodeo clown, which is to protect the riders, when they come off their horses or bulls, and he parked his ute and set up his swag next to the truck, so a

By the end of the weekend, the family had pretty much settled in, as have the two horses, with me still yet to begin my helicopter pilot training, I had not organised for markings to be painted on the landing pad just yet, so as to not attract any attention from any unwanted private pilots wanting to use the pad. While I had been continuing with my studies, in between moving, Logan still had a week to go of school holidays, so he was responsible for looking after the horses, and giving th

After about fifteen minutes of discussions regarding the trip, the skipper turned to me. “Right Mr Matias, I guess it is to be a crew only cruise?’ the skipper asked me. “Unless you have any ideas about willing guests that may want to join us?” I responded, and I saw the skipper smile and nod his head towards the window and to the beach. “Oh shit,” I said when I saw a line of people walking along the beach towards the jetty, with all of the carrying a light bag with them, and the senior crew

By the time we arrived back at Ocean Reef, it was after 9 pm, and there were no crowds around at all, which we were pleased about, and after saying goodnight to our guests and staff, Mum and I headed over to the giant shed so we could have a look inside. Once Mum had unlocked the passenger door, she turned on some lights and stepped back to let me go inside, where I found a wide and short passageway going down one side of the building, and a short passageway along the front to the left.

After returning home to our small family farm on the outskirts of Perth, I settled back into a routine of university studies and working part-time as a Farrier, and with plenty of horse properties in the area, I rarely had much spare time to myself. Logan reluctantly returned to high school, to continue his education, and Mum was just happy to have all three of us together back home again. After completing my fourth and second last year at university, I began to think about what sort of futu

“You mention that this is to be the new home base for the Eldorado, will the yacht and the business be affected in any way by the plans to develop this harbour into a full-size marina, with yacht pens, housing and public space” the reporter asked, and Grace said to be approaching, as I indicated that I will take that question. “Good afternoon, my name is Matias Madsen, one of the owners of the Eldorado, and this facility behind you. To answer that question, the facility including this jet

With no passengers, and just 5 crew plus Mum and I, we were looking forward to this trip down the coast. The crew had enjoyed their three days on Christmas Island and were a lot more relaxed, and we planned to spend just a few hours looking around each of the small towns that we call into on the way down the coast. The Captain asked me if I wanted to learn more about sailing the yacht, and I eagerly accepted the challenge, and so apart from manning the helm, I spent the next week learning

“Follow me, and I will show you,” Hugh said as he led us all through the corridor and into a wide-open courtyard, that overlooks the harbour, and there in front of us was the schooner, Eldorado. Curtis didn’t know what to say as he stood there to look at the yacht, which was just as we remembered it 4 weeks ago, and standing on the deck were the five crew members who had chosen to remain on the Eldorado. “Hello, Captain, Chef and crew,” I said as we approached the yacht. “Welcome ba
