moving in...

So this is it. Tomorrow we're moving onto Awaitea. Does anyone recall reading my tick tock post.

I needed 3 things in order to live aboard.

1. working bathroom
2. working kitchen
3. working tv.

Guess what we've got?

go on. guess.

Yep. You guessed it.

None of the above.

So on Saturday morning, when Roo wakes up at his usual time of 6am, you may think of me. You may think of me dancing around the saloon, pretending I'm first Justine Clarke, followed by Angelina Ballerina, Dirtgirl, Ben 10, and the pink Wotnot, whilst mixing up the skim milk powder in order for them to put something wet on their breakfast cereal, (no fridge yet), and in the meantime Roo will be begrudgingly pooing in a bucket as the appropriate tank isn't yet installed.

Jealous?

Reality Check.

Xave and Andy brought Awaitea down to Queenscliff last Monday, so Roo, Cooks & I excitedly met them at the harbour...

Within 3 minutes, Cooks was swinging off the rails, dangling over the water pretending it was a monkey bar, Roo had tripped over and fallen into the cockpit banging his head on the helm on the way down, and Dizzy was barking hysterically at all oily rag in the tender thinking it was an Australian Fur Seal.

Meanwhile, a small group of harbour folk had gathered to witness the cacophony, perhaps deliberating whether or not to charge us TRIPLE in order for us to move along.

Swiftly.

Exactly whose idea was this?
