Brindabella's Web Diary

  Si arrived safely in London and I can just see CJ’s beaming face. Meanwhile, here on Brindabella things were now extremely blowy. I added a bungee line to the bow today, tightened the lines on the sun canopy, added some more supporting lines and tied the lazy jacks back from the mast where they were rattling madly. After pegging out only two covers I realised they would soon take off never to be seen again or if so round the propeller, and set up a stylish zig-zagging line inside the boat which now resembles a Chinese laundry. Today between porridge and lentils in one form or another I polished the outside metal some of which took a fair bit of elbow grease and persistence to remove rust patches. Sadly it was just about dark when I finished and by morning the whole lot was sprayed with salt so I never saw the whole results of all my effort.
