We have had complaints that we haven’t updated the blog recently, so here it is.
Since we got back into the water we had a visit from Lydia who is back from the Seychelles. With her help we removed 4 stays from the main mast and took them to get replaced. Stays are the stainless steel ropes that hold up the mast. Lydia then headed off again, this time to NSW.
We have got the stays back and have fitted them. The painting of the deck hasn’t happened as it has rained most days. Not heavy just those annoying light showers.
We have done a bit of babysitting the grandkids and have started to stock the boat (apart from higher costs there is still a shortage on some items). About two weeks till we set off again. We will head back up the east coast with the new crew untill September, then see whose borders are open. Some borders are opening but for some it is just the air arrivals, not the maritime borders. Vanuatu is still closed as are most of the others except Fiji and New Cal.
