The blog of HarryWS and my yacht Malua. We sailed Australia, the Pacific, Europe, Caribbean and USA. I built Malua in Canberra then cruised the Pacific through New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji and Vanuatu during 2004. Malua was in the Mediterranean in 2007 at the start of a cruise westwards round the world. After a trip up the French canals we crossed the Atlantic, cruised the Caribbean including Cuba. From the east coast of USA through the Panama canal to Galapagos then the wide Pacific to Australia.

I have finally heard from the Australian Agents of Dockwise. He does not want my custom at any price. I have to deal with the American Principals who have not got back to me for a few days. The internet is littered with stories of Dockwise letting yacht cruisers down with changed and cancelled schedules. I will wait until I hear from Dockwise USA before I pass an opinion of the company. Have now waited a few days and no word from Dockwise. This is the company that pleaded guilty to anti-trust (Non-competitive) trade practices regarding setting prices for their type of vessels. Well I will see what they do and start to make alternative plans.
