Pacific dreaming....

What an absolutely magic day today on the South Coast of New South Wales!

 The air was warm, the sun was shining and the Pacific Ocean was living up to its name.

It was a great day to catch up with a few things around the house, and of course to go for a bike ride around the various headlands around my part of the world.



The weather forecast models are still behaving themselves as well. Today's chart from the Bureau of Meteorology shows that we can expect light winds for our departure early next week. This means we should get enough calm weather for us to get up into Queensland.

We achieved a milestone last night with the 200th visitor to the Endless Summer blog site. I am very happy to have so many people reading the blog. Thanks to everyone who has visited. Thanks especially if you came back for more!

I thought that you might all be interested to see the composition of our audience. As you can see from the graphic below, about 80% of the site visitors are from Australia, with a mix of visitors from a range of other countries, predominantly Russia.

 Поздравления и добро пожаловать в русских читателей Endless Summer. Я надеюсь, что вы наслаждаетесь наши приключения. (Try the Google translator if you want to see what this means)

Blog stats - thanks everyone for your interest

One of the things that I like most about the internet is its capability to almost instantly reach across borders, and hopefully to make the world a smaller and more friendly place. I like to think that blogging is a way create a space for such a process. Certainly we have a good mix of nationalities in our audience.

Enough philosophy,

Bye for now (just 4 sleeps to go),
