Anyone who likes seafood and is living in or visiting Brisbane, you have to go to The Prawnster. No it’s not a high class restaurant. But its the best seafood in Brisbane at good prices.
Today it was Andrew’s birthday, so we went out for dinner at The Prawnster. The only restaurant you can arrive at via the street or in our case by dinghy. We tied up on the dock 20m from our table. We feasted on lobster, oysters, moreton bay bugs, and two types of prawns, washed down with a NZ white wine. Heaven.
Upon returning to Imagine Andrew gave both Sue and Lydia each an orgasm. A great way to end the day. Butterscotch, Baileys, cream and cointreau layered in a glass.

Tuesday 30th November
Since we have been back, Brisbane has been drenched with rain or stifled in high humidity. We have managed to get back into the routine of river life; waking to the express ferries racing past and listening to the party boats cruising down the river at night and at weekends along with all the other boats and jetskis; going ashore filling the jerry cans with water to keep the water tanks on Imagine full and walking to the grocery store. Inbetween the rain, most days we are managing to get one job per day done on Imagine.
Lydia has picked up a job working on one of the paddle steamers that cruise the river at night. Sue is going to do a bit of babysitting when Amie goes back to work.
One rainy day Andrew performed surgery on one of the wet GoPro cameras and was able to bring it back to life. It took two pair of glasses to see what he was doing. Last weekend Lydia babysat Imagine while Andrew and Sue went to Robbies 1st birthday party. With all the rain there is currently a “flood watch/warning” on many Queensland rivers, including Brisbane river.

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.
