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.

Here is Malua off Malua Bay near Batemans Bay in NSW Australia. Iain, my son and I had sailed to meet the Sydney to Hobart yachts as they passed south alomng the coast and we sailed past the headland. Denny took the photo with Jimmy Island in the background.
