15..Splashing Back

The day arrives .. our boat is ready to go back into the water.. the painting is all done.. silver was first as the antifouling undercoating and then a redish brown for the top coat of antifouling ... that's as much as we could do there to get it good to head on home..

we were also waiting here for the boarders to open in western australia... and by the time we got to the boarder it had opened .. thank goodness .. so us novices not knowing anything about ports do our thing and got told off for refuling our boat the way we did by getting it in a truck elsewhere and driving it to where we were parked .. aparently that is a no no ... uhoh ... we were on our way out so we didn't bother with it .

so before we were due to give up the car we go get our groceries for a week at least its going to be a long trip to our next port ..
