Yes we are back in the Brisbane river. Oh how we missed the sounds of the sirens, loud motorbikes and ferries constantly passing us. Even the planes are back overhead.
We managed to anchor in the same spot we were in before going to the Whitsundays. We’ve been back almost two weeks and in those two weeks we have had dinner with our friends/neighbours who we have anchored outside their apartment. We caught up with the crew who sailed with us from Brisbane to Mackay. They introduced us to other friends of theirs who live in Brisbane. We will catch up with them again soon.
The rest of the time we have been doing laundry, cleaning and some boat maintenance. The dinghy outboard started playing up so we had to take it for a service. That was a mission in itself.
We had to row up river a bit then put the motor on a hand cart and drag it 2 or 3km to leave it to be serviced then go pick it up the next day. Then three days later take it back because it was still playing up.
There is still lots of maintenance to do on the boat and we have to catch up with Ben, Amie and Lachlan and others, so we will have plenty to do over the next few months.
