CO VID LOCKDOWN...

G'day All, As the title suggests life iz in lockdown while this virus runs itz course.
As Big Ash said this week if you have to lockdown somewhere it might as well be Exmouth.
In actual it makes little difference 2 life on board with the exception of no taxi available to get from the marina to the supermarket. Oh well I need to lose a few kilo'z anyhoo. Itz about 5 k's
The supermarket bring me and my shopping back to the marina (no charge) well I do spend more than $200 on supplies! Still Gr8 old fashion service.
swallow or sparrow?
I've spent the last few weex doing battle with the Fun Police in this case the Dept of Transport dropped in with a heap of paperwork for me and an order not to use either the yot or the tender as both are not registered in W.A waters despite the Australian rego number I had to register both the yacht and the tender.
All done but a real mission when your so remote from Perth but we got the job done with Brother Mark spending an afternoon at the D of T in Perth while talking to the girls up in the Exmouth office.
Itz now anutha 2 weex into lockdown and I'm just about ready to do a re-supply run again.
I haven't had the dinghy available for the last fortnight  with the carby needing further love from a mechanically minded person.
Without the outboard there's not much point in leaving the marina area still the scenery iz interesting some thymez. The yot in the photo broke up and sank while under tow back to the marina. He's having a worse day than me.
