G'Day All,
Itz been awhile since the last update and the yot now haz 2 propellorz again! they are attached to five days of hard graft aligning and repairing bearings, bushes, seals and boltz Lotz of 2 pack epoxy glue and much swearing and cursing meanz itz now thyme to fitt the rudderz and make sure there are no water leaks around the rudder shaft which iz currently bent! Just 2 make life interesting!
With day thyme temps around 33 to 35, itz a race to get all the underwater worx done B4 the next full moon spring tidez. When a very big crane will arrive to lift Galleycat bak in2 the water.
There'z lotz 2 do with basic maintenance taking up much thyme as Jim findz more items needing repairz or just some basic love.The survey of the yot showed up many itemz of basic safety that need attention or at least some improvement.
WA definately leadz they weigh with rulez and reg'z that must B obeyed so much so that I'm actually looking Northwards of Broome rather than a massive sea journey, with Exmouth as the primary port of call. This iz where the yot will sit out the cyclone season with a full marina for cyclone safety.
I fully intend to make Exmouth my home base for the immediate future but itz a long way from the safety of Robuck Bay Broome.
