We have been busy cleaning and putting stuff away as we get ready for our trip to the UK and the USA. We leave tomorrow and I can't believe that the cruising season is over for us this year. It seems just like yesterday when Roger and I left Sydney Horbour for points north but it was, in fact, February.
The weather has certainly changed and is now really hot and steamy. We had a huge thunderstorm yesterday and the day before with a massive amount of rainfall.
The marina remains very sheltered and secure. This was a good choice of place to leave the boat while we travel. (Thanks to Bill on S/V Bebe)
