Introduction to
Indonesia
  This morning we leapt up, off to
Coles for our final supermarket shop to collect forty two packs of part baked
rolls for Bear, sixty packets of my polystyrene ceiling tile biscuits and a
hundred and eight tins of tuna for me (lucky girl) together with a few bits and
pieces all fitted into two store trolleys which we pushed home to Beez. Time to
haul it all in the cockpit before we had to head off to the minibus taking us to
todays briefing at the Cairns Cruising Yacht
Squadron. Once upstairs we found a delegation of Indonesians who presented us
with a badge, cap, tee shirt and booklet each. After John had taken us through
some information as far as Thursday Island, he handed over to Raymond – our
Indonesian leader all the way through the twenty official ports of call on the
rally. Just a few islands then.......... so many in
fact that some are unnamed.
 We assembled outside for a group
photograph taken by a local newspaper. I snuck this shot of Raymond, Steve (Commodore of
CCYS) and John (Rally Organiser).
      Back upstairs, we were treated
to just a taste of what we will see along the
way.
  Home after drinks courtesy of John
and Lyn, we found our friends posed on Vamanos. Crusty resplendent in his pirates hat. Love the way they
all form up for me each afternoon. Job list now dictated a canter around the
lounge on the sewing machine, just three tether lines for jerry cans, two
extension pieces for replacement cans and a trot along the zipper lines of the
conservatory. That done it was eleven thirty, time for bed Zebedee.
ALL IN ALL SO MUCH TO LOOK
FORWARD TO
A BUSY DAY MIXED WITH GREAT
EXCITEMENT |
