RAIN
04 December 2010
No photos on the blog lately - that's because you can't photograph rain. And pics of boats in a parking lot - the marina - are dull, to my taste.
Yes, it rains and it rains and it rains ... so much for it.
The boat is amazingly dry. A 25 year-old anything - including a boat - will leak, if the rain is constant, so - yes, it leaks a little. But that to my mind, makes it all the more cosy, a drip or two.
So rain on ...
Our son-in-law Nick said he would love to come sailing with us from Sydney to Hobart! We are delighted. He's had sailing experience, and is in the Navy, so the sea won't faze him. He used to work in the kitchen in our restaurant (that's before he became a cook in the Navy) so the three of us have worked together under pressure before. He's a good man. I learned to appreciate the value of good crew on the leg from Vanuatu to Bundaberg, so I'm looking forward to it.
