Off to
Melbourne!! Well most things on JBG
have been dealt to and all is good to carry on the delivery to Melbourne. The
Weather forecast is pretty much as good as it can get for this time of year and
we are hoping to land in the Royal Melbourne YC in about 2 1/2 days. Everybody
in Eden has been very friendly and helpful so our Thanks and gratitude go out to
them. I must say a big thank you
to the Australian Customs officers in Eden, who went above and beyond to clear
us in at 0200 in the Morning. Caroline not only stayed up to clear us, she
brought us two pizza’s, a 6 pack of VB’s and two bottles of Wine, with Service
like that who can complain and I’ll be sure to call in again the next time I am
passing
by. The Forecast is good enough
to go and we hope to be in Royal Melbourne by the afternoon of Sunday the 19th
December. As Ever I’ll update you
during the trip, for this leg of the delivery there are only James and myself on
board but s it is a relatively short leg I'm sure everything will be
fine. Cheers Mark and
James |
