Everything looks beautiful; the color of the water, the green on the islands, Great Sandy. I have a question - what happened to the lil Pram. Last I can see in text is you rowed it back from GS and re-oiled it. I see a plastic imitator in it's place now.

Sure looks different than when I checked in last. Nice progress Rick and nice workmanship, even if it does take a couple tries sometimes

Wow

We've crossed the Noosa Bar back into the Noosa River after a wonderful fourteen-week cruise. :D The only viable track back over the bar entailed taking the swell and occasional breaking waves side on while traversing the half nautical mile long gutter along the north shore beach. The drone footage...

Glad you're back at it Rick. Can you zoom way out and give us the overview of what is done and needing to be done? I'm guessing you are getting close?

Glad you had an enjoyable 3 months of cruising - the places you've been are beautiful. I've been to AUS twice for work - Sydney and Melbourne. Had a weekend to make it from Melbourne down the coast to see the 12 Apostles - beautiful. Was a very long day...

The section of de-rusted chain is now noticeable smaller in diameter than previously, and clearly weakened. The entire 200' of chain will need to be replaced , as for safety reasons in extreme conditions, I refuse to join together two sections of anchor chain rode. Ouch, that isn't going to be chea...

Very nice work. Looks great.

She's a beast! What a beauty. We definitely need some action videos or pics. Enjoy her.

Glad you're back in one piece Rick.
