Fred-Report:

On March 6th Fred left Tauranga in New Zealand on "Dawn Princess". Several weeks passed without any message from Fred.

Finally we found a SAR-team that promised us to bring Fred back.

On April 8th they boarded the Dawn Princess in Melbourne for a 5-day trip to Sydney. They picked up Fred and enjoyed with him the voyage from Melbourne to Burnie and Hobart:

Friday 13th was a lucky day for Fred: We received a SMS from Sydney: "HELLO, WE SAILED INTO SYDNEY THIS MORNING AND WE ARE HAPPY TO SAY: WE DISEMBARKED WITH FRED. WE WILL SEND MORE DETAILS SOON".

Some hours later we received the following message:

"We arrived in Sydney this morning on the Dawn Princess. We all got up early including Fred to enjoy the beautiful harbour. Fred is well and good and sporting a couple of badges one of which reads 'Fred, Deck Cadet, Germany.'"

For the next days, Fred and his friends did sightseeing in Sydney:

On April 17th Fred and his friends took a flight back to New Zealand:

Now, as Fred is back again in good hands we will organize a new vessel for him. Hopefully with a crew which has more time to support this idea and sends some nice pictures and stories from all over the world.

Thank you very much to Fred's rescue-team. They did a great job. Now the story can go on and Fred can continue his voyage.
