We enjoy a speedy sail towards the marina, where we will be spending the cyclone season preparing the boat for the next season going over the top of Australia. There is lots to clean on the boat after a massive year of cruising. It’s normal practice for Aussie yachties to sail south for the summer, but we feel confident to not turn back as the marina is well prepared and showed to be strong in Cyclone Debbie back in 2017. Though, upon attending an extreme weather preparedness workshop, we have realised we do need to do some things in order to get us and Nakama prepared in the chance a cyclone does come over the top of us. We also need to find a new insurer and only few are willing to cover you above 25 degrees South.

As there are so many boat jobs on the horizon we decided we should go get our car from down in Hervey Bay, Slim draws the short straw and makes the journey with Luke and Fumi to reclaim the silver bullet.
