Pauls goes sailing to Dundee for an overnighter
Paul went with John and Sandy and their family (John is a work colleague) to Dundee for the night.
John wanted to give the boat a run as he is planning to do the Darwin to Ambon in August.
It was Paul's first real trip in a sailboat and it was fantastic to cruise along just using windpower.
We went into the Lodge of Dundee for dinner and then back out to "Sirocco" to sleep very comfortably for the night - albeit in a wet and rough trip back out in the little zodiac tender.
Was a little bit rocky at night initially, even in a 60' cataraman, but was good cool sleeping weather and the wind eased later in the night. We motored most of the way home as the lighter wind on the sunday was pretty much on the nose.

Overnighter at Douglas with some of Pauls work colleagues

Just went for the one night but had a good time and some more practice with the camper trailer. We took the scenic route home and the others enjoyed the view at the top of the Telstra Tower hill near Robin Falls.
Was good sleeping weather without being very cold - although it was cold enough for some nice steam early Sunday morning when we all went down for a swim around sunrise.

Monica "hops" into a new job
Labels:
monica
Monica started her new job today where she works for a WA government program with troubled youth in Wydham. She's always been interested in following her mum in this kind of work so this is hopefully a great foot in the door.
She was working for Toby's family business helping out in the office which is in the same building as her new office.
Unfortunately she hurt her knee quite badly in netball the week before and is on crutches at the moment.
