Faraway and Pelekan

Today we said farewell to our Island Packet 485 neighbours Tom and Jos who were heading out of the marina on SV Pelekan. As previously mentioned Faraway is hull number 22 in the factory and Pelekan is hull number 23. It was pretty coincidental that we ended up moored side by side each other in the marina. They were a lovely couple who freely shared their valuable knowledge and experience of owning and sailing an Island Packet. We soon discovered that the problems we had experienced so far were more quirks than major issues and it gave us a lot of comfort. We gained a lot of useful information from them and started to think that we were truly becoming part of the Island Packet 'family'. We wish them well in their adventure and hope to meet up again soon.
