Day 7. We have managed to get some sleep over the past two days. The predicted storm stayed out in the bay, sparing Brisbane from another deluge.
The sun was out today the river is receding. The current was slow enough for Andrew to go get water in the jerry cans. We had been catching rain in the buckets to use for washing and flushing the toilet. Andrew was told by locals the the supermarket has now reopened after flooding, but has very little stock. Thats okay as we can survive a few more days.
We see the tugs and marine salvage boats go past, sorting out the wreckage in the river around the CBD and have heard on the radio that they are collecting the pontoons, yachts etc that have gone out into the bay.
There isn’t a lot we can do except wait for things to get back to normal. We are still booked in to be hauled out mid March. Then we can get stuck in to painting and antifouling Imagine. Luckily Andrew had run around the week before the flood and bought the paint, antifoul and hopefully everything we need.
There is more stormy weather forecast for tomorrow and towards the end of next week, but today the sun shone brightly.
Thanks to everyone for your support and best wishes.
