I have tried my hand at a few things over the last few months while in Adelaide but it seems it has come time to get underway again. To that end I have been attending to the maintenance, not that I had ever stopped doing it, but now have set a departure date from Adelaide of 1 June. I have made a booking to slip Sylph on 14 May as once again Sylph has a bit of a garden growing below the waterline. The weather is a bit wetter at this time of year but in the dry days I have been getting a bit of painting done and a few other jobs.

All is well.
