We really didn’t get to see Cyprus.

When we were leaving Malta on Wednesday I received an email that delivered a business surprise. Shit happens!

After debate, Jan and I decided I needed to go home for a while to help my wonderful team handle the decisions made necessary by this surprise. Looking at our itinerary, and flights, I decided to fly from Cyprus on Saturday to be in Sydney for Monday. Jan has stayed on the ship. Being beautifully looked after by the crew and new found friends.

I have had a productive week. Many decisions made. Good things now happening. Much to look forward to now.

Blog posts from Rome to Rhodes (and this one) have been posted (with the bonus of real internet!) from my office at home in Bowral. I’m setting off on Wednesday morning to return to the ship in Abu Dhabi, via Singapore and Dubai.

Jan has been taking lotsa photos in my absence, but I’m not sure just how/when we’ll pick up the blog from here. In any event it will be at least a week before the next post.

Stand by …
