COVID19

Well it's stuffed our plans, along with everyone else's. All the Pacific
Islands have closed their borders and we don't blame them. They would be
very vulnerable.

Just like you, we are in lock down. Only being able to go shopping or
exercise. Yay we just found a shop that currently has plenty of toilet
paper.

Australian's are to stay at home with no non-essential travel, including no
boating. If we self isolate and stay at home and our home moves up the coast
are we breaking the law? Is it non-essential travel and boating? It's a
$1300 fine each for non-essential travel

We have enough food to stay onboard for more than 14days and could make our
own water up the coast. We now have to go ashore every few days to fill
jerry-cans with water as the river is too dirty to make water. This
increases our chances of catching COVID19.

For the moment we are staying put. A shop across the river has advertised
for workers so Sue has applied. If she gets it we would then have some
income. Like you we will just have to sit tight and see what happens next.

It's good to hear that in New Zealand the number of cases are reducing due
to their total lockdown. Still a ways to go but good to hear some positive
news.

Stay safe and be healthy everyone
