Sailing Into Life

“I never met a sunset I didn’t like” - Unknown

How is this winter???

Fish life was pretty cool. So many fish around, bright colours and so close to you while we snorkelled. The only challenge we had was the current, as it charges through there quite fast, so it made getting back to boat interesting haha

We had such a great weekend snorkelling the wrecks on Moreton Island. The water was slightly murkie but we were still able to see the amazing fish life around the wrecks. I love this place is only a short sail away. We will be back!

Sometimes I think we go to work through the week for a break… we worked hard again today painting the new shelf that my Dad made for the kitchen area for the fridges. We did away with the esky style fridge for the upright ones. We have purchased a 12v Brass Monkey 90L fridge/freezer. In a month or two we will get another one so we have two side by side. Next job removing the last of the stickers on the side of the boat with the heat gun. We have a professional detailer coming next week for a cut and polish on the whole catamaran. We finished the afternoon watching the sunset while Charlee kayaked around the boat

Living aboard full time has some perks and coming home to this view everyday is my fav thing. Watching the sunset over the water.

Next deck grip!

So the new girl is getting a makeover as well. New stickers and a new name. Kenny traded the paintbrush this morning for a heat gun and removed the old decal. We’ve decided on a new name that means something to us. Short and sweet, that kind of epitomises what we will be doing when it’s time to take off and travel. We will reveal the name later. We are having her cut and polished in a fortnight’s time. Hopefully bringing her back to her former glory.

The old girl is looking the goods. She will be ready to sell in a few weeks

We’ve been busy while staying in the marina. Well Kenny’s done most of the work. We added some sirocco 12V fans to the cabin for the bedrooms and lounge area, and charging ports above each bed. Charlee’s happy! After lots of configuration, we figured out the air conditioning unit and installed it. Nights have been much more bearable in this humidity.

When the outboard motor dies on the tender and your crab pots have been in the Mooloolah estuary for over a week. Time to find them by road and paddle board. First stop Brightwater, second stop Parrearra. We are on a mission.
