On returning from Australia, we had Keris lifted out of the water for a much needed bum and prop clean. The waters up here are so warm, it promotes growth on the hulls, props etc very fast. Mike did all the work himself and we were back in the water Monday afternoon having been out for only 2 days. We left Rebak for Kuah Town the next morning. We needed to check out and to pick up the cover we had ordered before returning to Australia. We could not believe it when we discovered that the cover had not even been started (had almost a month), in fact, to say the least, Mike was fuming. We had already let Ruth and Kelvin know that we would rendezvous with them on either the Saturday or Sunday to reclaim Snoop. The woman making the cover said she could have it ready for Friday, around noon and it was. On receipt of the cover we high tailed it out of Kuah Town and anchored our first night at The Hole in the Wall.
