Friends,
Welcome to our blog. Karen and Mark will work to keep you updated on our travels over the next few months as we take "Tiburon" north along the Queenlsand coast.
After twelve months of preparation we are finally on our way. We expect the "little shark" (tiburon is Spanish for shark) will serve us well.
Weather being kind our planned departure from Manly is Thursday the 21st June.
This last few weeks we have been blessed with good wishes from our friends, family and workmates - thankyou - here we gooooooo!
As we move on we will tell you a little about Tiburon. For starters she is 27' long, a motor sailer, with a 22hp inboard diesel engine. She was built in Auckland in the late '80s.
You won't find too many of her sisters here but I understand she remains a popular vessel in NZ. Karen and I purchased her in August 2004.

I didn't think it would me appropriate to describe a sailing boat by it's length and the size of it's engine. What happened to the sail area?
Nick,
A very good question and one that will be answered in a future instalment.
