I can't imagine he'll have a lot of free time for sightseeing, he hasn't spoken to his mom for over two days

Boy rang his mom at 4am to tell her he has been circumnavigating Australia for just over a month and today his ship has left Adelaide enroute to Kangaroo Island.

Circumnavigating? That's a far distance; according to the Net, the coastline of Oz is about 35,600 km (22,300 miles); given the circumference at the equator is 40,075 km (24,901 miles), that's near an around the world trip. Very impressive. How long does it take the Young Buna to make that voyage?...

I'm afraid I've no idea but I do know the ship stops at a port on average every other day.

Today he is enroute to Melbourne.

Papeete, on Tahiti, is the capital of French Polynesia, a group of islands in the South Pacific. Beside the port, busy Place Vai’ete fills with roulottes, or food carts, in the evenings. Nearby, the large Marché de Papeete market sells local produce, fish and handicrafts. The Robert Wan Pearl Museum focuses on the local pearl industry and sells jewelry. A red spire tops the 19th-century Notre Dame Cathedral.
More pictures from your son Jim

and the Lord bless him with a Merry Christmas too
