After a fantastic run down the coast from Mooloolaba, averaging over 7 knots, we're safe and sound back in Brisbane after more than 6 months and 3,100 nautical miles. We're living aboard for a few days as we get house keys back from our tenant and wait for our removal next Tuesday. Can you believe I have to do a removal on my birthday?? I can't! At least Shane's parents have been kind enough to take the squids for a few days and Shane is taking me out to dinner.
Haydee was doing intermittent little dances as we approached Brisbane; she is really excited to be back. While she has loved the trip and living on a boat, she is looking forward to catching up with all her big Year 7 friends. Cam is also keen to see friends and, a little surprisingly, to move back into our house. He was a little disappointed when we told him it would be about a week before he is back in his own bed. Shane is beside himself with excitement about getting back to work in a couple of weeks and particularly looking forward to shaving every day again. We also thoroughly enjoyed going through 6 months of mail today - we love it when utility companies don't do what they say they will then get shirty at you. Love your work, Elgas and AGL.
Hopefully the rest of our re-acquaintance with reality will be gentle, not harsh! Sponsors willing to back us to continue living this lifestyle are most welcome to contact us!!! Please!! Anyone??
