preparations for the Fremantle cruise.

Had to wait this morning for a front to pass over before heading to the boat. It was quite rocky when we boarded and had a bit of trouble telling my head that it was all in the mind.
cleaned the cupboards and restacked everything while Frank scrubbed seagull left overs off everything they could possibly leave their left overs on. Someone in the marina is obviously feeding the seagulls on Olives as most of their doops have olive seeds in them. Thankyou whoever is doing that dastardly deed.
The weather fined up and it turned out rather nice apart from the chill setting in around 5pm.
It was then a rush to get home, gulp a bit of tea down and head to the club for the monthly meeting. (we have given up on the over expensive meals at the club and not really good food. A few vegies along with the main would be rather nice.)
Tomorrow Frank will be helping Grant Pitman out on his boat, diving to check the hull and prop, then onto Mindarie to do ours. Reid on Sadiquie Ra has offerred two bottles of wine if he will check their boat while he is in the water. So that's the plan as well to check their prop and see if it isn't clogged up with little sea creatures.
I will be doing the food shopping for the weekend sail to Fremantle, then we will spend the night on board so we can be up and on our way by 6am. Bob will be joining us for the weekend as well and will come after dinner tomorrow night.
The weather is looking pretty good. 27deg on Saturday and 33 Sunday but very little wind so will possibly have to use the old iron sail for most of the way.
