Wednesday 18^th April

So how was my unexpected night back on 2XS?  Well it was, really, just like coming home.  The boat was warm and cosy, if a bit chaotic because we have dismantled and packed and removed so much stuff.

Pete somehow managed to produce a perfectly delicious, if strange, meal involving two leftover cooked sausages, some potatoes and some eggs.  Oh and maybe a few leftover veggies made their way into the mix.

But I suppose the most extraordinary thing was…how very beautiful it is, back in the MYCT in Lindisfarne.  2XS is berthed on the outer arm of the marina, so we look from the deck straight out at the Tasman Bridge, and Mount Wellington.  The river was calm and the lights reflected brilliantly in the dark water; the air so clear and fresh it was took our breath away.  Just glorious!

Greg, on Alicidae III, has, by coincidence found an anchorage very closer to 2XS, in the same sheltered little bay.  Pete says that Greg is overwhelmed by how helpful and kind people have been – not just Pete, but Quarantine, Immigration, Customs!  Nice to know, isn’t it?
