I've recently finished sailing a 26ft Yacht named Constellation, from Holland to Australia - I departed on the 17th of Sept, 2007 and arrived in Australia on the 19th of November, 2009. See the route I took, and read the whole story.

The voyage continues (south)

December 16th, 2009

So I’ve been home in Melbourne for the last couple of weeks… Staying with friends, couch hopping… But something is missing… Constellation is nowhere to be seen. Thanks to encouragement and support from friends, I’ve decided I must keep sailing, and arrive officially ‘home’ to Melbourne.

I will pick Constellation up in early Jan, and sail nonstop to Sydney, and then hopefully nonstop to Melbourne. I don’t think it’s going to be a particularly enjoyable sail (due to weather and the nature of the Australian coast), however it must be done!

There needs to be more:

    It is also known as love of your beautiful boat and an addiction to sailing!

    =) Enjoy!

    Hey mate,

    That’s awesome. Your journey has been inspiring. I’m writing from Los Gatos, California. I only started watching reading after you passed through. Wish I would have found your site sooner as I was only miles away and sail in SF Bay regularly.

    Best,

    Ed.
