Back in Brisbane and after a couple of days rest Lydia has left Imagine to go visit friends and family. She will return in a couple of weeks. Meantime we have started on the clean up and maintenance. Sue has spent a day at the laundromat washing sheets and towels. Andrew has resealed the windows that had developed leaks. Another days sanding and the cockpit cabin will be ready for painting.
We spent a day in town sorting out a few things. We aren’t used to so many people and now have to be wary of Covid. It wasn’t something we had to worry about being away from civilisation.
Over the next few months Imagine will get new lights up the mast, the worn ropes replaced, paint touch up and general maintenace.
It’s been warm here, but no jumping off the boat to cool off, the Brisbane river isn’t the cleanest and there are bull sharks here. We’ve got to put mozzie nets up here due to the warm weather and the greenery not too far away. We’re also getting used to the wash of the boats, ferries and jet skis again, along with the music from the party boats, although after the last couple of years it’s good to see some life returning to the river.
Glad you are all home safely
