BACK 2 CAIRNS...

                                                           
G'day All,
                  While the blog haz been ignored recently, I've actually been quite busy with 10 dayz bak in Perth to help Mum out.
I've now returned to Cairns with Honey after a marathon effort in Perth. While I waz West I managed a couple of fishing tripz and tiled a bathroom at Mum and Dadz house. Along with a trip to Ash's man cave that led in2 a fantastic day trip to Lancelin in search of  WA Dhufish.
My main aim waz 2 get stuck in2 a Dhu or 2 for some Mothers Day lunch or dinner. Task complete!
Alas, I'm once again having camera issues with charging now the issue. My charger iz on Groote Eylandt with all the other stuff.
The yot has been moored for a couple of weex  inside Trinity Harbour with a few of the local yachties keeping an eye on her and watering the plants/ triffidz. The seedlingz planted upon my arrival in Townsville are now fully grown productive plantz. The basil and silverbeet are huge, lotz of green tomatoes on the vine. The herbs 2 have filled out with thyme, rosemary,spring onionz, chives and parsleyz all ready 2 use in the kitchen.
The outside deck area iz becoming more Galleycat useable with the bench, sink and wok burner all coming online in the next week or 2. I've begun to get Nightmoves ready to become Galleycat with the fishing platform and bench beginning to take shape also while the fore deck and fishing platform both get a salt water hose for washdown, fishing or cleaning the mud off the anchor.
I've met up with Ally who answered the ad for a deck for the trip North to Groote.

FIRST FISH

With the generator service still 2B finalized I can't leave til next week probably closer to next weekend.
So the obvious answer leave Cairns and head out to Turtle Bay (my Cairns anchorage), for a weekend of getting to know each other and do sum maintenance on the hullz.

NICE TENDER

I plan to beach the yot and get my first look at the bottom of the new Galleycat.
The trip to Turtle went resonably smooth we did have dinghy issues and copped a couple of big waves that flooded the entire rear deck area.The plants got a salt water drenching.
Lessonz learnt and with the hullz scraped clean of barnacles we headed back to Cairns.
As you can see the camera charger haz arrived from Groote thanx to Brother Andrew.
Ally has agreed to come along for the trip to Groote so itz one last week of prep before we set sail North towards Hope Island and a feed of mudcrabs.
Itz thyme 2 go...
