06.30 Skipper went for a walk through the
national park on his own today, as Kevin had a blister on his foot. ( well thats
what he said )
Ohhhhhh, its
so fantastic , even at one stage the skipper was standing looking at this furry
animal, about the size of a big cat,
and it had a
head like a dog and a pair of panda eye's. I was looking at him and wondering
should I go and rub him, and he was looking at me
and thinking
," should I go and lick him or run" the bollux did the latter and
ran.
09.00 Returned to " A LADY " and found Donal
and Grattan washing down the boat from bow to stern, Great little fellow's
( well maybe
not so friggin little ) NOT DONAL , jesus, He must be all of 20 stone
!
BUT but,
Great company so far, and as mentioned before, He feckin well seems to know
everybody, and if he dosent know them,
He will know
someone that does. Great stuff!
11.00 The Skipper got hold of the flag pole and
sanded the thing down to the bare wood. ( reminded him of the good old
days
when himself and brother Rom would have to sand the seats in the cockpit of the
" BUNTY " )
In the
end , you wind up with sawdust up and in every " hole " in your body,
Splattering by the minute and cursing the " old Man "
Kevin spent most of the day in the Marina
office sending emails or doing something on the computer.
It looked as if we would have to get a mechanical
pullers to extract him from the desk that he had kidnapped for himself,
The rest of the gang were gainfully employed
,swimming and lying around the place in the sun like wallrusses.
But thats what this trip is all about, Lovely
15.30 The Skipper and Grattan got into the
Freezer and decided to clean it out.
This
took two hours of total hard work , but in the end , it was worth the effort.
and now it should all work much more efficiently.
This was
followed by a coat of varnish on the flag pole, and it looked much
better now.
Our
poor Irish flag is fading very badly.
17.00 The Skippers briefing was attended by
FATS as teh Skipper and Grattan were up to their tits in the Deep Freezer at the
time.
Shortly after,
" Pylades" arrieved and Fergus and Kay came aboard to say " HELLO" in the
rain ( pissing at this stage )
19.00 We all went to a B.B.Q. at the Marina
.. At $10 each it was good value
Later we watched more of Donalds R.A.F.
dvd
