Position 12:26.94S 130:51.051E

We motored around to Tipperary Marina (you can imagine what song Mark was singing on route at 7.00am this morning) and went through the very small lock gate to moor up amongst the other rally boats in a lovely setting.

We are surrounded by lots of lovely modern houses overlooking the boats and a restaurant and 7-11 small supermarket along with a hairdresser - so all good so far.

We also have internet – yeah !

So enjoy the photo updates – we have lots more to come.

We knocked a couple of jobs off our list today but it is so hot that we really need to get up early and tackle them while it is still relatively cool.

Not sure how that will pan out tomorrow as the rally are all meeting at the yacht club this evening for a reunion since we haven’t seen most of the other boats since Mackay - over a month.

Mark has been out this afternoon finding a suitable venue – he left at 3.00pm and arrived back at 5.30pm – with the excuse that he was led astray by Brian & Paul – but he has done a good job of organising everyone to meet at the yacht club so I forgive him …as long as I don’t have to carry him home !
