Food

I have been cooking all morning, have 2 chicken curries, 2 beef strogg and enough spag bog sauce to sink a ship.....not really but I have heaps. That should get us through the first few days if we don't all spew.
Will load up at the marina next week as they said we could moor for a couple of days.
Customs boys said they would come to us to do all the paperwork....they must be snowed under if they have time for all that.
Just need some fuel and the last minute stuff and we are good to go.

Giving Bev a once over

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St0Xl19l_cc

Did a bit of a check today will go for a sail next weekend up to Palm Beach as a shake down run.
Everything seemed fine, will check fuel levels and the rest of the provisions will be onboard next week.
We hope to leave on the 29th May would appreciate the same farewell as Jessica Watson even though our boat isn't pink it does look like it in the video.
Bought a little tender this morning so didn't need to swim out to the boat which I was very happy about.
