For some years now Pat & Olivia have been circumnavigating the globe in their boat
Aldebaran - a Crossbow 40, built in Capetown SA.
They are the first couple from HYC to sail their boat to Australia. They left the boat there (for the typhoon season) and returned home recently.
They will return to Australia in February to continue their voyage via Darwin Indonesia, Singapore and hopefully
arrive in Thailand before Christmas 2005.
