Today I slept in while Putu was keen to get off the boat and
take a look around Darwin. We had an early morning visit from our friends Michael
and Liz from Cosmoc Drift who we haven’t seen since Broome. They were leaving
for Lombok in Indonesia in the next day or two and had been very busy getting
organised.
After they left, Putu hitched a ride into the yacht club
with Bruce and headed off into town. One of her tasks was to buy me some shorts
as after nearly four months at sea, all my shorts had rotted to pieces and I
was looking like Fred Flinstone.
I spent the day organising our quarantine stat-dec and our
entry through the lock into Bay View Marina tomorrow. After lunch, I dropped the
dinghy and set it up ready to go into the yacht Club tonight for dinner and
spent the rest of the time cleaning up the boat.
Just as the sun was setting, Bruce and I headed off in our
dinghies to the Yacht Club where I met Putu who had new shorts for me to wear.
After a very nice dinner with Luke’s lovely wife joining us,
we headed back to Sirocco for the evening.
