Ep 377 | The WORST is Yet to Come, The AFTERMATH of Cyclone Alfred, Nutshell Nuthouse
Cyclone Alfred has now passed, but the worst is yet to come. We now have massive trees hurtling towards us and bits of debris. It’s a constant battle to keep removing them from the hulls where they keep getting caught.
It’s full on! After a while the banks of the river burst and the current reduces dramatically. We move to more protected waters with less of the river flow, but it’s tricky going as it’s very difficult to manoeuvre the nuthouse in such huge currents. Magnus uses everything that he can to keep Nutty from hurtling toward the sandbanks and riverbanks.
It’s a lot.
Once that’s all dealt with it’s time to get back to fixing up the roof. The weather is not helping us. It just won’t stop raining and when there is a small weather window, it’s too hot to apply the gelcoat. We can’t get a break.
Finally, we decide that we’re just not going to get Nutshell finished and we can only do our best with the short amount of time that we have left.
We plan on leaving Nutshell on the hard and coming back to finish her after our Kimberley tour guide season ends September 2025, but, as always seems to happen, plans change…
Thanks for watching.
Until next time…
Wendy and Magnus
