Dear All,

Today we are in Sydney for two days.
Arrived on Thursday morning around 07h00.
Tomorrow we will pick up Mark from the airport.
We've been running around like crazy and all sorts
chores done.
The bank balance is dropping at a decent rate
but that will be less in a few days
become.
We bought SIM cards, a car
rented, drove to Corleone Marina to
discover that the complete scaffolding was
repaired; ferries depart from the
public jetty just a few hundred
meters away. With 100 kg of luggage
We went back upstairs to get to the car
come to drive to the other jetty.
Sydney is hilly. Tiring. At noon
we were brought back to the car
the Genoa to Andrew Chapman, the sailmaker,
to bring and to go shopping for it
evening meal!
Back on board at 2pm we continued
mounting the new engine

stop cable and clearing the chart table.
At five o'clock we cooked, made the
on beds and almost fell asleep while we
called home.
After a shower on deck time to go to sleep.
Sleep like a log at 8 pm and at 4 am
wide awake.
Dreaming about ships being joined together
built and that I have to correct everything on
time pressure. Dreams are so not true.

Friday we had an appointment for the dinghy
and buy some missing items
needed to run a ship. Also
we had to pick up items that were ordered
at Sturrocks Ship supplies. Unfortunately we will
have to go back in the next few days to finish everything
pick up, some items had not been delivered yet.
Don't worry, we're still working on it
to do all the chores.
Doug Sturrocks is helping us with the order with
a lot of attention to personal details. A whole
nice guy. Awesome.
The dinghy was ready for us and was after
inspection and payment delivered to us at

sailing club Drummoyne. Glide down their boat ramp
the 'tender kalosini 2' in the water. Everyone
assisted and grants the highly esteemed
Aussie service.

All enough for one day. We are what
tired. Tomorrow Mark arrives at 6:45 am and
we meet him at the airport. Chance
is big that he will be very tired, nice!
