In Laurieton Nth NSW getting the boat ready for our trip.

After 6 months without us on board our little yacht we arrived back from Victoria to a yacht with a lot of mould ... yuk. We dumped our gear and found a motel for the night, ready to tackle the job of scrubbing everything with vinegar and oil of cloves to remove and hopefully deter any more mould [...]

After 6 months without us on board our little yacht we arrived back from Victoria to a yacht with a lot of mould ... yuk. We dumped our gear and found a motel for the night, ready to tackle the job of scrubbing everything with vinegar and oil of cloves to remove and hopefully deter any more mould growth.
A few days later we hauled out and antifouled whilst we had the yacht surveyed for insurance purposes..
It's a bit of a bonus when your surveyor falls in love with your boat. Ross couldn't stop telling us what a well maintained, well built and safe yacht we had...
We're busy stocking with provisions for our oncoming trip. We are heading for New Caledonia and beyond, where we sail to all depends on the weather. I'm hoping for Fiji, but as long as I can dive, swim, snorkel and go beach-combing I don't really care where we end up. I always say " Our Plans are Set in Jelly"

We won't leave Aus until Mid May to ensure that we are well out of the cyclone season. We will give the yacht a bit of a shake down and sail from Laurieton to The Clarence river and have a look at Illuka and surrounds.
so stay tuned. Cheers Chez
