The way forward in 2014, for James and I seems to have a theme of embracing family, friends and experiences. \u00a0We had great Christmas eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day get-togethers with family and friends.<\/p>\n

Although Mercier is safely tucked away on a hard stand in Croatia, we have shared plenty of time on the water with good friends. \u00a0The sailing season resumes in January and we hope to do Tuesday and Friday Twilights on Jackie Clare followed by Saturday club racing for James on Impetuous Too. We will be looking at what to do in Sydney for our gap year and how to structure our days. Our longs walks on the shores of the Med are sorely missed. \u00a0The passeggiata is such a wonderful time of day, social as well as aiding fitness. We will try to fit them into our day here in Sydney, walks through the nearby suburbs, along the water and through the bush.<\/p>\n

So Happy 2014, hopefully this year will bring health, happiness and adventure to all our friends and family. We look forward to speaking to you, seeing you or even just sending an email. \u00a0Good Luck to my sister, Linda and brother-in-law Rick, moving from desert to mountains later in 2014 sounds pretty exciting.<\/p>\n
