On our way, almost

Four granddaughters blatantly promoting our boat!

We headed from Yamba back to Melbourne, stopping halfway at my sister Gays in Pitt Town. The car seemed to have less in it that when we drove up 9 months earlier. This would be the last long trip in my car that I was quite fond of. It had to go because storing it was just not viable. It is only a car but oh such a nice one!

It was a busy week in the countdown to flying out, we had colonised part of my daughter’s house with our assorted bags and I had put off repacking because it was all too hard.

A farewell lunch had been organized and the grandaughters duly wore their printed t-shirts, which did look incredibly cute! They might visit us next year when they feel we will be more experienced sailors!
