Blog Entry 29 - 1st Nov 2008

Hi Folks,
After spending the greater part of the day running around government offices involved in a paper chase we located the 'O' ring seal and Brian has repaired the steering.  I am flying back to Australia at 7 AM in the morning for meetings and the boys have an excellent weather window for the trip to Mackay where the boat will clear into Australia.  We might have to leave Scotty like the flying dutchman never to return on land as he thought his passport looked a little grubby and decided to leave it in the pocket of his shorts when he did the washing.  Fortunately we had copies so all should really be well.  It is unfortunate that he has lost the record of his numerous journeys over the years.  We dined last night at the waterfront restaurant beside yachting world and the food was excellent.  I had a lobster that was so big I had great difficulty in finishing.  This is a great place with friendly people and many ex-pat's from Australia and New Zealand.

Love to All,
Jack.
