Gunna Get the Blog Going Again
Highlights from our recent Sydney trip. Early Feb. Stayed for 2 weeks. Drove up and back in one go. 10 1/2 hrs door to door. This one coincided with first week of the new 2024 school term. We celebrated Gaye’s birthday. At the new Art Gallery everyone chose their fav artwork and posed for a pic. Mads chose hr outfit for the day perfectly for her artwork match.
This trip we took the opportunity to visit Phil and Virginia at their new home at Nelson Bay.
We arrived home to find Zoe sporting a super new haircut.

Finally Sailed the Triple on Bundy.
John, Darryl and Jimmy delivered Bundy to Queensland. This wasn’t the first try. Last year they were turned around just North of Stradbroke Island due to Covid restrictions. This year they were successful despite 50k off the Prom which shredded the staysail.
Rocky and I grabbed a Qantas flight to Hamo, then a ferry to Airlie where John had secured a berth for the duration of Airlie Beach Race Week.
Needless to say, we had an excellent time racing. Edit…edit…edit.
Here are some pics.
