Townsville 24th July 2009

Blue skies, 15 knots of warm breeze on a smooth sea, a seafood meal and
a great red wine - life doesn't get much better, especially when you're
sailing with a dear friend. That's my lot aboard illywhacker these last
few weeks. The motor, refrigeration AND my new electric winches.... in
fact all systems aboard seem to be running well and I'm now reaping the
rewards of a few months work. My optimism for the future has returned -
maybe there are some more cruises left in the man and his boat!
