Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

[status]Tuesday's gallop was slowed down to a comfortable trot yesterday - due to lack of wind and still the strong counter-current. But last night the wind picked up and swung around to the north so now we are happily cantering again. Our rhumb line is Bundaberg rum line.

Seawindow is in the Duck Pond, Townsville QLD. Nice little anchorage close to landslide facilities and services. You can dingy up to the marina and pay $5/4hrs or $10/day to tie up your ducky. Add another $5 and you can access showers, toilets and laundry. The Breakwater Marina is trying really hard to attract boaties. Today we shop and tomorrow we move into the marina for a night, wash the boat, recycle some engine oil and use the courtesy car ($10 donation for 2 hours) to buzz around Bunnings, BCF, chandlery, Target, Kmart, Dan Murphy's, F&V shop etc.

[status]I can see now why those that make the effort to come out to Falunga find there anchor is reluctant to part company. we have time on our side so can just kick back and take in as much as we can.
