Fremantle here we come

Well finally we are getting prepared to do a weekend sail to Fremantle. Tomorrow will be on the boat getting everything ready for the weekend. The prop needs attention so Frank will be diving down and cleaning that up.
Lots to do to get ready as we haven't been on board or done any sailing for quite some time. The first big job will be removing all the sea gull doops on the deck and bimini's. It has been suggested that we change the name of the boat to Johnathon Livingston seagull. No doubt they will have re built the nest that we destroyed the last time on board. So there will be some very unhappy seagulls this weekend.
It is the first time we have sailed to Fremantle since we bought Meridian 11 from the Fremantle sailing club, so it will be interesting to see if she is recognised by anyone who knew her when she was penned there.
She certainly looks a lot better than when we bought her as she has had a complete face lift with her paint, new bimini, spray dodger, seats and steps.
So hopefully the weather report that has been issued stays the same and we have a very pleasant sail.
