Many regards and hope all is well, Tom

X2 on all CapeMan said. We missed you
Hope you are not where all the flooding is happening.

Likewise, have missed the daily update from the upside down continent. I bet you're going to go through culture shock with all the changes you've got going on, but I'm sure it's a bit of plus and minus. I'm looking forward to seeing the feather pram completed. Will you be able to find a place to work on her?

Thanks for the ongoing interest and support Jeff, cape man, Tom, Fuzz and pee wee.
Life at this end has been has been myopically absorbing, settling in and personalising our villa, as well as negotiating with the powers-that-be extensions that will enable me to keep building and storing small boats.
I'm quietly confident of achieving at least one additional outdoor covered area about as wide as, though a little shorter, than the space that Peter-C conjures his creations from. If this eventuates, this is where I'll finish Feather Pram, as well as build further small craft in the future.
Our immediate aim is to get the above settled, then put our shoulders to the wheel and mechanically service, paint, varnish, and antifoul Great Sandy, so we can cruise north to Great Barrier Reef waters in June.
Further work on Skinnydip and Feather Pram is scheduled for early 2022.
If there is the interest, I'll resume regular posts when preparatory work, then cruising, commences on Great Sandy.

I'll speak for the crowd. We look forward to another 578 pages of Glossieblack adventures.
I was hoping the pram was going sailing with you this year
