      Merry early Christmas, I hope my pledge helps you get a few more miles down the "blue road"! What an exciting adventure I've had just WATCHING your trip this past year. I can't imagine actually doing it. You'll be in my homeland soon. If you have plans to moor in Cairns, Australia let me know. My mum lives there and has an organic food store. I bet we could hook you up with some fresh produce from local farmers :) www.wyhm.com.au
