July and not
a paddle in sight!

Well,
so far this season, we’ve moved, oh I don’t know, let’s say 500 metres. Most of that was by travel lift so it barely
counts in the great scheme of things. We
are, and remain, anchored in Jackson Creek.
Aside from the anchor dragging occasionally through gelatinous mud (locals call this plowin' and
much excitement thus caused), we are sitting on the boat waiting for things
to break. And break they do.
The
Cap’n has his H460 blog which will (in time) explain what he has been working
on. Most recently he has lavished
attention on the sea-going toilet (we now have a new one) and all its miles of
pipes that thread through the boat; we had some fun with that! Now it’s electrics! GS has been unable to use her computer on
board and has, in a cranky state, been “shipped” off daily to the marina lounge
for Day Care. This will continue we
presume, until the situation is remedied.

Meanwhile,
WestMarine and Hurd’s Hardware staff know him personally; the lady at Nauti
Nells (not what you think - a repository of second hand boat bits and other
such treasures) holds all the good stuff for him and local seafood suppliers
are thinking of naming a seafood dish after him. (Well, perhaps that’s all a slight
exaggeration.)
Photos? Oh, those things. Nope, nothing in that department either. Camera batteries are dead flat.
(As an aside, our Map & Tracker will not be functional for a while until we decide how best to remedy the current situation, which at the moment is leading us to another provider. Still, I doubt we'll be going anywhere for some weeks so what's the rush?)
