JMDS Expedition 2016

Linked here are several pages of trips I have undergone over the years. It will take some time to get them all on line but it will happen

The LTD04 Tour

In June and July 2004 My friend Brian and I undertook a trip to the Northern Territory through the gulf country and returning via the Simpson Desert. Our wives joined us at Darwin adding domesticity to what had been, up to that point, a 4,500 km pub crawl.

This is an account of that trip – the 2004 Lookin’, Talkin’ and Drinkin’ Tour (LTD04)

Sailing off the NW Cape

On 28 July, 2002 I arrived at Canarvon in the Northwest of Western Australia to wait for the yacht Jezebel, owned by my brother-in-law and sister, Bill and Lesley Haddleton. Bill and Lesley had been sailors for decades and I was keen to sail with them. Two years ago they had sailed around Australia and when they were sailing up the Broadwater just south of my home in Brisbane I had joined the yacht then and had a taste of life on board. I wanted more.
