Life on the hard
We elected to ship Wave Runner from Thailand to Turkey to avoid Somali pirates (Cruising Helmsman, February 2014). So, Wave Runner’s next lift was onto a ship for her Indian Ocean and Red Sea journey. We met her in Marmaris, Turkey, and then spent nine months cruising the wonderful Turkish Coast and many of the Greek Islands.
We hauled out so we could leave on the hard while we took a quick trip to New Zealand – something we did most years to catch up with family, hosted our son and his family each year. It was such fun exploring different countries together. The kids even did a spot of Ladder Living just to show them what ‘real’ cruising was about.
