Today was spent working on the boat, make and mend time.
Peter remade the rope bags, 11 years of wear and tear. I repaired, or at least covered over, the Eden damage and replaced a very tired piece of shock cord on the boom.
Water tanks are full and the engine oils checked.
We also have info and contact details for the next stop in Pittwater, and are expected in the afternoon.
All is well on board and the forecast is looking good too.
New crew is Peter and Bernie, with Cheryl joining again in a fortnights time. Should be good fun and hopefully good sailing too.
