The symbolic end of our journey was to sail into Sydney Harbour almost two years to the day we set off from St Lucia in the Caribbean - half a world away.
What a fantastic journey and rite-of-passage for the kids and a bonding time for our family. It hasn't been an easy undertaking but rich rewarding in so many ways....
Next week we leave Moana Roa with our broker and complete the trip home as we drive across Australia to Busselton, our home town.
