Well here we are still, we were suppose to hear from customs yesterday but no word, as you can imagine the stress levels were starting to rise big time.
At around 9am The Captain gave them a ring, well guess what? We are free yay yay yay
We can sail anywhere in Australia for 12 months and not have to pay any fees at all, talk about a huge relief, they finally came to their senses now we just have to wait for some official papers get the last of the repairs done and then we can head off.
We are thinking of leaving on Thursday or Friday if all goes well The Captains son Robin is flying up to join us on our journey home, which is pretty exciting, we have missed the kids so much, it’s been almost 2 years since I have seen my son Tim, 19months since I have seen my daughter Madeline and about a month for my daughter Bek.
The Captains two kids Marian and Robin it has been almost two years, so we are starting to get very excited to be home, and of course to see all the rest of the families, and friends one very close friend in particular I have missed her so much you know who you are! It’s been way to long, so in under a week we should be finally home.
The day sure has been busy, The Captain and John have been doing a lot of stuff around the boat, not exactly sure, but man have they made a mess, and I have been flat out with the cleaning of the outside, it is such hard work and I know I will never really finish it but at least I trying to get as much done as possible.
Well tomorrow is anther Day.
