It has been about two months since our last blog up-date as we have been a little busy living life as “clods” (Cruisers Living On Land Sometimes) but at least one of us is about to start cruising again and that someone would be me.

As I write this blog one of my twin boys, Tom and his partner Lauren are on the road heading up to where we live and as soon as they get here we plan to head out to the Great Barrier Reef and Fraser Island on Annecam to see if there are any whales still about. We will stay out as long as the weather is good.

I have been out for a solo sail, to check out the new folding propeller and to make sure that all the running gear is still working, it was. I have installed new macerator head pumps and located and fixed a fresh water leak, there is always something that has to be done on any boat to keep them in fine fettle.
So, watch this space for more on our planned cruise and who knows we might even capture some of it on the video camera.
