In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we say

goodbye to our house, our son Luke and

Australia to travel 18,600 kilometers to

Spain.

Time to say goodbye. Bye beautiful house, beautiful mountain in the background.

Bye rain forest. It's been a great house, we've had some great times here and

wonderful memories. The end of an era the beginning of a new one.

Blessings to the house and to those who

live in it.

So time to go? Yeah. All right well our chariot awaits, it's gonna whisk us

down to Luke's place and on to

the airport. That's a lot of stuff eh? I

mean a lot of the food stuffs, that's for Luke.

But yeah there's still a lot of bags.

Good job we've got the extra baggage allowance!

Departure day arrived and we loaded up

our car with everything we owned and

drove an hour south to Brisbane to pick

up our son Luke. The plan was that all

three of us would drive to the airport,

Aannsha and I would get dropped off and

then Luke would drive off into the

sunset in his new car. On the short drive

to Brisbane Airport we were chatting

about nothing at all and throwing around

our usual family banter, each one of us

reluctant to bring up the subject of the

final goodbyes that was getting closer

as the kilometres passed beneath the

wheels of the car. Goodbyes are hard at

the best of times, but this was a goodbye

that was unique. Usually it's the child

that leaves the parents to go off and

forge their own paths and destiny. But

this time it was as the parents, leaving

our son in his native country, to go off

on our new path. It felt so wrong but at

the same time we knew that Luke had the

life skills and confidence to walk his

own path and be master of his own

destiny.

You excited? If you weren't behind the camera I would be. Think we're going to need 2 of them.

I think we are gonna need 2. Maybe yeah.

It's the big moment.

Been a long time coming. Wow look at

that sunset!

OK Luke I don't want to do this.

Oh yeah, coz of the height.

You take care of yourself and keep in touch. Have fun. Follow your heart. Stop it.

Dude. What can I say? I love you. Take it easy.

Alright...

Now get out of here. At 6:30 p.m. on Monday 18th December 2017 ours and our sons paths diverged.

It was one of the most emotionally heart-wrenching moments of our lives.

So there we stood, watching our

son drive off into the sunset. As the car

disappeared down the ramp Aannsha and I turned to look at each other. There were

tears in both our eyes and spilling down

our cheeks. Words were useless at this

point so we simply nodded knowingly at

each other, as soul mates do and

started walking towards the doors of Brisbane Airport international departure terminal.

Well that was saying goodbye at the airport,

which wasn't too bad. Actually it

wasn't as tearful as I expected it to be.

But it was very hard and

it's just difficult you know, not knowing

when you're gonna see your son again, but

I think we've prepared him as best as we

can to carve out his own path now. So

we're just gonna let the universe take

control from here.

You know it's kind of very poignant

because I'm really looking forward to this.

I'm really looking forward to the whole experience...

and just...

saying goodbye to Luke...

it's the hardest thing.

So if you're looking Luke, I love you more

than the sun and the moon and the stars

in the sky and I know you'll be fine.

Next time on sailing A B Sea we check out

all the perks of flying business class

and 35 hours later arrive in Spain. Sea!

We keep calling it the ocean, we're wrong

it's the sea. (enjoy the outtakes) Ah the life of a teenager, hanging out laundry and eating exotic food! Oh yeah.

Are these your bras? Yeah, (coughs, clears throat) I erm cross dress on the side as well. I gotta make money somehow. (laughs)

I've got to get used to using thing haven't I? Yep.

Oh it's actually recording! Hahaha I think I

found, I think I've got an outtake! Hahahaha
