We, Kathleen and Forrest Petrich, are second cousins but fourth generation Croatian-Americans. We are embarking on the adventure of a lifetime. We two high school students plan to venture out of the borders of the U.S. into the waters of the Tasman Sea between Australia and Tasmania in February 2011. We aim to execute a shared promise between the Petrich Family of Tacoma and the Haldane Family of Australia. This blog will tell the story of the boat-building Petriches and the family in Australia that were gifted the plans to the Petriches' Western Explorer to build the FV Tacoma. This is the boat that we will travel aboard from Tasmania to the Australian mainland in February '11. Come on our journey!
