ALONE AGAIN, NATURALLY


George departed for Australia any all points of the compass today.

He was a great crew member and was very helpful, especially during the most difficult times of the passage from Hawaii to Fiji. He took the ferry to Denerau this morning and will fly to Brisbane this evening. The picture is of George waving "Goodbye" from the ferry.

I have a few chores to to as well as a few minor repairs I've been putting off.

Monday I'll go to Denerau/Nandi/Vunda to get a bunch of errands done.

Vunda will probably be where Torrid will stay during the cyclone season. We'll see how their facilities are. My most pressing concern will be with the depth of their channel.

Today at Musket Cove I noticed a tremendous difference between low and high tide. Apparently it is much more pronounced in Northern Australia at Darwin. Oh, well. Be prepared.

Hope you don't get too lonely without George. Wishing you pleasant journeys!
