| Sunrise from Pete's house (West Hobart) |
All is well on 2XS. Pete has been corresponding with Toby by
email re various small annoyances. For
example, one of the transducers has completely melted…
making it
impossible to use the inverter.
It hasn’t rained
for three weeks so they need to cart water to and fro in jerrycans. Life is never entirely easy, on a boat…

| The beginning of the end for this pretty chair |
Things go wrong in
houses too. Pete’s house is furnished
with very nice antique furniture. The
dining table is satisfyingly large and seats twelve people – on very pretty but
slightly spindly chairs… They are slowly and quietly falling to pieces. They obviously were never meant to be sat on
by robust 21st Century humans.

Poor Martin sat on
one last time we were home and it fell apart – he was left sitting on the floor
looking surprised and surrounded by small splinters of what once had been a
pretty spindly chair.
