March 2020...

New owner Jim joined me initially for the trip north. First fuel stop at Triabunna and fortunately still tied up when Jim received a call about a family emergency which saw him on the next plane out. Always ready and reliable crewman Ray to the rescue and after an 0800 phone call, Ray and his wife arrived at 1400 and we pushed off shortly after.

Another fuel stop at Lady Barron then Eden before arriving at Empire Marina Bobbin Head the following day. Great boat, beautiful weather and always great company having Ray onboard and lovely to finally meet Diane who celebrated her birthday during the trip.
