Should we sue God?!

   Bodi braving the floodwaters to reach dry land
Hi !
Well we're still in Port Macquarie, and it looks like for the duration. At least we are still on a very convenient private jetty river mooring and we're enjoying catching up with friends and family. We survived the Hastings River flood in June, having to be towed by Sea Rescue to the neighbouring pontoon jetty when our mooring was almost submerged and our port motor was out of action.

Upriver sunset from Two XS

     Bill has rebuilt the port motor and is in the process of reinstalling it, the watermaker is ready to go back in,and many other long-needed repairs achieved.
    Yesterday a mighty bolt of lightning struck Two XS and from the top of the mast down everything electronic and electrical was zapped, so we're in the process of advising our insurers and then having it all replaced and repaired-could take months! Even the fridge and our brand-new tv. are useless.
    We were not on the boat at the time, but poor Bodi was home alone, and fortunately no permanent damage to him,except the trauma of all the thunder,lightning and the explosion as the mast was struck.
    So there won't be any further sailing adventures to report for quite a while.
