11/04/2015: "A new family member"

Estelle spied this lonely and forlorn catamaran in the Ross River in Townsville. That was four months ago. 'Auberge' in now in Cairns, has newly painted rudders and centreboard, a new headsail and has been a source of delight to our daughter who is now officially a skipper. Catherine and I are currently boatless (excepting all the off the beach toys that we have scattered around the property) and on the lookout for a performance offshore cruiser. The plan is to get to sea seriously in 2016.
