Hi Bruce
Rex from Tamata, now Tequila Sunset, Lagoon 440, met you at Palmerston, when you thankfully used your sewing machine to repair my mainsail.?
If if you are looking for as good a place as any and probably better than most, I would suggest Boatworks on the Gold Coast, Qld... google them for more info. ?Everything you need is there along with a choice of brokers, can discuss that with you further at a later date. I sailed from Noumea to Gold Coast, a good run, and plenty of very safe anchorage when you get here. Have a look at google earth.?
Cheers
Rex
