Blue Water marina
Cairns Qld
We have leapt from continent to continent and now we
are back in Australia. In hot and sunny
Cairns, reunited with 2XS, which has been waiting patiently in Blue Waters
marina for the past few months.
It seemed to take forever to get from Singapore to
Cairns. I didn’t sleep at all and was quite
happy sitting trapped in my small seat on the plane because all seven episodes
of Big Little Lies was waiting for me
on the tiny TV screen, just inches from my nose. I enjoyed it very much although my eyes were
totally gritty after so many hours watch watch watching!
We were just a bit worried about the boat…would it be
full of mould?? This does happen, in tropical
climates. But no, the boat is squeaky
clean and very dry and ready for us to leap aboard and set sail.
I spent the morning in the supermarket; Pete spent the
morning down the hold getting very hot indeed because…the starter motor wouldn’t
start. A bit of a flaw… I don’t know how
many hours he spent down there in his hot metal coffin, but he emerged at last,
very weary and dehydrated, but – successful!

Townsville outside
Breakwater marina
Yes Townsville…not enough time to catch up with our
friends and relations. We arrived late afternoon
and filled up with diesel then anchored outside the marina, ready for an early
morning start.

We are speeding down the coast. I have cooked a large and sustaining dinner
and a large veg-filled lasagne for the overnight trip tomorrow. And we should be in Airlie Beach in time to
meet up with my family!
Along the way we had a twelve hour stop at Mission Beach, where we stayed with Pete and
Maddie and beautiful Baggins the Dog for delicious food, wine, chat.

I should write about our day at Gardens by the Bay in
Singapore – so impressive, so amazing!
