Pilings (Cairns - Maggie)
We’re still tied to the pilings in Cairns. Our tired old Zodiac has leaked its last.. well, for us at least - having tied it to the side of the boat with a ‘FREE’ cardboard sign attached, it was towed off to its new home further down the river within an hour. Chez had managed to track down a bargain replacement tender from BCF (a walk there and an Uber back) The new tender, a ‘Hydro Force Caspian Pro’ is lighter and significantly less leaky than it’s predecessor - it will take some getting used to, but all good. ….and bizarrely, it’s now two months later. To summarise, we briefly had a Pacific reunion of sorts with 'Mowzer' and 'Miles away' both in Cairns. Both have now headed off - and once again, I wish these were people we’d further connected with earlier in our journey - both lovely warm families. A highlight, for me at least, before they departed was having an art day for the boys on Miles away (Dexter and Felix) making a fish collage - great great fun, and hopefu...
