The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

28th January
Back in Brisbane
The steering...
The bearing seemed to have collapsed making the steering wheel very loose.
To get us back to Brisbane I cut up a nylon chopping board to make a couple
of bushes which seemed to hold the steering in place better.

Still working on the boat.
Everything take 10 times longer on the boat. If I require a pipe clamp or
extra screws or even getting groceries the process goes: lift the dinghy off
the deck and into the water, lower the motor onto the dinghy. Lock up
Imagine, dinghy 15 minutes to a secure dinghy jetty. then depending on what
we want, it's a 3km walk to the shopping center or a 20 minute ferry ride
and 1.5km walk to the hardware shop.

We are steadily trucking along with light but adequate wind, trying to maintain our 6+ kt average. Some light showers around us and lots of rainbows. We are in radio contact with 2 other boats that are within 100 miles of us.

[status] Yikes, I'm living with a skin head! He's often threatened to shave his head at the start of a passage to see how it looks and feels. I can't say I like the look and think it makes him look sickly.
Hopefully it grows back quick.
