LWH – Week 16 : Gove

Sat 20 - Sat 27 Oct
Well it has been an extraordinarily frustrating week. We ordered our water pump on Monday 15 October. On Tuesday 23 October it finally turned up in Melbourne. By Thursday 25th it was in Brisbane, the 26th in Darwin and we finally got it today – Saturday 27th October. And it took the skipper less than 15 minutes to install it. What can you say!!!!!! We did have a lovely day on Friday. We hired the ute again and shared it with two lovely gentlemen off a yacht called Some Time who are also stuck here awaiting parts. We did all our shopping and went up the lookout and had a lovely day with good company. We have met quite a few lovely people passing through on their way east. Anyway tomorrow we are going to head off and start the Gulf crossing.
Love to all.
