Farnborough State School
From Bundaberg we sailed together with SY Magnum to Lady Musgrave Island and further to Great Keppel Island. There is an Environmental Education Center on North Keppel Island. The Keppel Bay Marina sponsored us a free berth so that we were able to visit schools in the area.

Farnborough State School is going to produce soon their own organic food. The students are going also to participate in the TOPtoTOP drawing contest:



All this was only possible to the coordination skills of Brian Hooper the architect of the “tree of knowledge” monument in Barcholdine, who we met in the Outback.

From Yeppoon we sailed up to Scawfell Island; Sabine’s stomach getting bigger and bigger. The whole family can not wait to meet the newborn soon!

On the sail to Thomas Island (same name like our Webdesigner) we used the first time Matteo Miceli’s gift: OUR NEW GENAKER!

Now in the Whitsundays we were still busy with our book that will be published in October. Thanks to Skype we were in regulate contact with our ghost writer Marc Zollinger in Rome.

Whitehaven Beach, along Whitsunday Island, is world famous for its incredibly fine, salt-like sand. It is 99% quartz. We took a bag of it with us as a memory…
We left Airlie Beach out and went straight to Cape Gloucester, where we anchored in front of a great Eco Resort with a big pool for Salina and Andri.

We often sailed overnight when the kids where as lip and made it finally to Magnetic Island in front of Townsville, where Jacqui and Ric with his to children Keshia and Jonah joined us. We hope to be in Cairns in the next days to visit some schools and do another SGS event.
