Saturday 24 April
We move slowly, reluctant to leave our floating home of the
past six nights. It’s our longest ‘stopover’ on the trip so far, so we have
become very attached to a life on the high seas.
With laundry all done, the bags are packed, and we load up
the car at the end of the Marina road after farewelling our hostess with the
mostest and skipper, Sheryn Foord.
We head for the burbs, and Roger’s sister’s house at Lidcombe
where we set up camp for a couple of nights and sort our belongings into
manageable carrying devices – it is somewhat surprising how the belongings seem
to have multiplied. Lady Penelope picked up a few items in the first week at
the ‘Merrygoround Op shop’ in Hawthorn – clothing that in fact has been
extremely valuable in the simply stunning Indian summer weather we have
experienced and Flashy has now increased his footwear wardrobe with the
addition of black dress shoes (for formal functions) and boat shoes (mandatory
when one is on a boat). So there will be some juggling of space or indeed an
Aust Post mail box back to Cairns before the end of the week.
A lazy day ensued with reading, dozing and grazing – the
perfect Saturday arvo activity.
