Sailing in Tasmania (& first kiss in public)

In January 2003 Frederik participated in a sailing competition at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, in Hobart. After a week, Mary joined him there.

Also present: Amber Petty and Mary's sister Jane Stephens.

They gave the press their first "spontaneous" kiss, which was a way of showing they officially were in a relationship - a step towards the engagement.

The next days the couple was spotted again.
