One of the delights of the cruising life is the making of friends, and meeting them in far-flung places. In the 8 years or so that we have been living aboard we have made many friends along the Eastern seaboard and in the South Pacific.
You won't all get a mention here so please don't feel insulted if you aren't.
Our longest-standing liveaboard friends are Colleen and Derek on 'Wyena', who qualify for a separate page. Following then were Larry and Alison. Sadly, Larry died in October '08, after they had given up cruising for a land-based life in Hobart. Next would be Wal and Robbie ('Annwn') who we met on our first trip north. They then became our neighbours in Mooloolaba while Wal did the extensive modifications to our boat. Also along the way we met Greg and Janise on 'Windchimes', and Don and Carmel on 'Blacks Myth'.
Long-time PBYC friends Peter and Ann Munckton now live in Brisbane but previously lived in Sydney.
We met out mates Pete and Donna on "Two Up" in Rozelle Bay, Sydney in 2004 after we returned from New Caledonia and Vanuatu. We later sailed back there with them in 2006 before continuing on to the Solomons.
