The Navigator has a wonderful coffee machine at home however the "Skipper" decreed this was too big and was prevented from joining the crew. The navigator being aware of the importance of good coffee brewing went in search of an alternative for the shell. Espree has been given the all clear by the panel. She has a production capacity of 9 cups, is Thor safe and can complete her task mounted on a gas stove. Having given consideration to all these attributes the navigator made an executive decision and aquired her on Ebay. She is traveling to Mackay from Victoria and should be able to commence employment with the crew prior to the first planned trip to Airlie Beach for Christmas.
