Today was “one of those days”. We were planning to be in Soldiers Point to pick up an engine part so up we went – and clang stove in a window bent a few stanchions as the tide caught us. With one engine on one hull we had no chance. The guys at the Marine Centre up here did a great job and we have a cute little temporary window – once the rigging is checked tomorrow we hope to make a determined dash for the Gold Coast. We are getting a crew together to get cracking. Thanks to Mark and Rob H for volunteering hopefully it will be a pleasant sail up the coast – a quick couple of overnighters and we will be there. I am sure it is character building ( but I think my character is already built) but we could do without it. Chris hurt her arm which is the most worrying part – I hope it feels better in the morning ! Things WILL get better and we will overcome. On to the Gold Coast!!
