BACK TO THE REAL WORLD AND BACK TO WORK

"Windy Spirit" was hauled out of the water at the Yamba Marina in December, 2010, for some much needed attention. She deserved the attention after carrying us safely from Puteri Harbour, in Malaysia & then back to Australia. We'd certainly covered some hard miles so after 6, 700 nautical miles, over 6 months, some tender loving care was in order. Everyone hates the task of anti-fouling, cleaning & polishing but with the help of some great friends, the work was covered in just two days, leaving us in a relaxed state in time for Xmas.

Dave & Lorna, who had just purchesd their new catamaran, "Next Phase", were there to lend a helping hand, knowing that when it was time for them to take their boat out of the water, we would be there to help as well. "What goes around, comes around"! Dave concentrated on the polishing, a huge job, while Rees organised the rest of us with the fiddly jobs that no-one likes to do. However, after two full days of hard work, "Windy Spirit" was ready to go back into the water once again, looking beautiful & sparkling with her new look.
