No Word

As of Friday here, we had not received the survey report, meaning that we the next step in our buying process has not started. We learned yesterday that the owner will bring the wind vane back next week-end, so we have some time to wait before the boat will be completely put back together.

Meanwhile, crew mate Dave is getting ready to join us. He departs in a couple days, and we just made plans to do some traveling while we wait. This also coincides with the fact that our Manly Hotel filled up for the week-end, so we're off to explore a little.

Meanwhile we're learning more about Australian Customs, import and export, Coast Guard regulations both US and Australian, looking for sources of charts, pricing outboard engines, ... you get the idea. Last night, we happened upon a folding bike to go in a boat, and full size one for sale last night - $15 each. Bargains are hard to come by here, Evvy has sniffed out cheap housing, and we found another one. We picked them up a couple hours ago, and we're still out with them. For Shawn's sake, we'll be sure to get some pics of these up soon!
