G'day All,
Itz finally thyme to head back towards Perth. We have cleaned and painted Racundra and are now steaming Northwards on a flat sea heading for the Dawesville Cut near Mandurah.
A trip to Busselton Marina is something I'll NOT recommend, they fleeced me about $600 for a pen I didn't use and they refused to refund my pen fee's I see a trip to the lawyers as best I can tell itz fraud.
Itz a week later and Galleycat iz now back in Mangels bay preparing for a big blow on Tuesday night 45 knot winds and 5 meter swells are forecast so for now itz thyme to rebuild our shattered bourbon stocks. we returned from Busselton with less than 5 litres of fellixxer left. 2 brews are on and buy saturday night I should have 25 litres. I've now decided to up the quantity of fellixxer to 60 litres sitting on wood chips, it means 3 weex and a $150 investment. But I vow never to run stocks that low again.
Hibernation! I now remember why I'm normally in Exmouth at this thyme of the year. Itz Bloody freezing! 2 track suits and a quilt and I'm still cold. Hence the hibernation itz easier to head back to bed and read a book or 2. Warmth at last.
A HUGE congratz! to my dad Ian Holdsworth who can now officially put the letters OAM behind his name. After 2 years of deliberating the Governor General has granted Dad the Order Of Australia Medal for his service to the many volunteer organizations he's been part of over the last 60 years. To many to list here but at least now his service has been officially recognised.
Now all thatz left iz for Dad to go to Parliament House where the Governor General will present Dad with hiz medal.
