 What do we do all day?


For my first week here it rained solidly,so we spent our days spring cleaning from the inside out on 'Callisto.' This included washing all the furniture covers, ( the best tip I gleaned from the Dusseldorf boat show was to place the cushion covers back on to the cushions whilst they are partly wet,this has made this chore so much easier) washing all linens,headliners , waxing and polishing wood and steel etc.etc
This has all been possible because we are in the Dockside Marina on the Brisbane river and have unlimited water and power ( thank goodness for air- conditioning ,it's humid and hot here)
Another chore ,was sitting in maccas,( the Oz name) they seem to have free wifi worldwide, trying to log on to slow Internet,this is one of the lesser pleasures of the cruising life, we have been trying to send our Sail Indonesia rally forms now for days,but due to the size of the file,photos ,docs etc we really need a good connection. Patience is a requirement! We have purchased a few books and need to start planning our route north through the great barrier reef, we need to be in Darwin around the beginning of July,so we will leave here close after the first week of April.
