Days 47-48: Didgeridoo
Friday, April 29th, 2005
We spent a couple of days in Byron Bay... which is hippie central - kind of like a small Berkeley on the beach. Nice relaxed, healthy vibe. Everyone is pregnant. Upon our first arrival at the beach we were both ... [Continue reading this entry]
Day 46: Here There Be Dragons
Wednesday, April 27th, 2005

Day 37: HMS Vomit Comet
Monday, April 18th, 2005

Saturday, April 16th, 2005
We got to happening Airlie Beach (that's code for it's full of party goers and we're getting old). The weather report was ok at 15-20 knots and a new front was moving in so this was our chance. We booked ... [Continue reading this entry]
