Recovery Day

0630 position 33-38S 151-17E. On a mooring off of Zappa and Marie's house, Scotland Island, Broken Bay, New South Wales, Australia

Yesterday was dedicated to recovering from "lunch" at Piers' house the day before, so not a lot went on. After coffee yesterday morning Michael, Rob, and I went back to Piers' to use his WIFI and then he dropped us back at Van Diemen as he was heading in to Sydney. Zappa and Marie joined us aboard for lunch, and then we all headed in to their house for the afternoon and evening. I took a nap in their guest bedroom.

Michael had gone for a short trek in the bush behind Piers' house and went for a walk around Scotland Island with Zappa, Marie, and their dog Eddie while I was sleeping and Rob was doing internet. Michael was scratching around later and found that he'd picked up two ticks during his adventures, one of which was firmly attached to his neck. We decided that he apparently missed the target as a ladies' man and instead has become a "tick magnet".

We keep looking hard at the weather forecasts for a good opportunity to head south to Hobart. It has been frustrating because the forecasts keep changing. So far we don't see any real good opportunity coming to make our move, but like I said it keeps changing. Stay tuned.
