Lets try that again

Well we made it back into out pen at the marina on Australia Day .... after a couple of awesome days on the hook... lovely getting up and fishing for lunch and dinner ... caught a couple really nice squid and fish .... much fun ...

ok back in the marina and our original leak , stopped mostly just once a day pumpout .. so that was good ... the lifter for here is still not working and so we settled into our routine again and waited out the month we had already paid for ...

saturday 25th rolls around and captain keith , had done a lot of jobs on the boat to get her ready for a while on the hook awaiting a good weather window ... we were going back over to the quarantine station for a while ... ( meanwhile , Graham came back home ) ... so all things done ... food for a while,... and getting excited,... carol came to see us off again !! ... and so with only 2 lines holding us .... the captain started the motor ..... and bam !! a cloud of stuff came out from under the boat ... keith thought it might have been that we stirred up a sting ray or fish or something ... alas no ..

the pressure from the start blew out a pipe on the transmission ... so we ain't goin no where fast ... lol he spent the whole weekend nutting it out and hopefully he thinks he has a solution ... boat life !!!!
