ReplyDeleteHey Suki - et famille!! I googled you a couple weeks ago in hopes of contacting you again, as will be in LA in a couple months... and what do I find??? You and your gorgeous family crossing the pacific!!! How absolutely amazing. Have been enjoying your blog and the superb experiences you are all having. I loved my sailing days and your adventures make me want to go out again and leave the city behind for awhile. We are still living in Sydney Aus - would be so great to see you guys - all very welcome to stay with us in Sydney if you need the city experience again! If you're not going to make it to Aus VERY happy to meet you in NZ or Noumea, or or or?? I have family & friends in NZ who are all keen sailors - some of which have taken the same path of home-schooling kids whilst they spend 4 years circumnavigating the globe!!! Anyway, so nice to hear of your where-abouts (albeit constantly changing!) and hope to be in touch soon!! I always remember our acting days in Vancouver and how generous you were with your time, knowledge and friendship. Such a dear soul. Much love COL xxx (Colin McCarlie and Martin O'Loughlin)
ReplyDeleteSay bonjour to Gaston and Valentine when you get to Toau. They were part of my band but I think they're doin' just fine where they are.
