Got up and started packing ready for the boat. Only 2 days to go!!! Have packed everything into dry bags and have a large dry bag with it all in. Only allowed 20kg plus our foulies and boots. A lot of the time you wear the same clothes. Also no shower on board so have to clean using baby wipes. It's always bliss once the race has finished and having your first shower. I weighed myself 160lbs! Hoping to lose weight on the boat especially as there is a no drinking alcohol rule.
Had a wander into to town came across a
Drive through bottle store had to take a photo of that!
Had a coffee and bumped into sophie she invited us back to her place and we had a swim in her pool. An amazing infinity pool with a lovely view out to sea.
One thing I have noticed over here is the different Sounds of the birds and all the different species.
Also Thought it would be "gday " I would hear the Aussies say but it's "no worries " which just sums up Aussie way of life. Or "
Hey how are you "
Had a meal with Sean in the evening and bumped into some of the skippers in a bar.
Another thing I am looking forward to is sailing at night and seeing the clear sky's with the stars and the moon. Not long now.
Phoned home and spoke to Jodie Freya and Joey. Then phoned my mum. Miss them loads.
