8th July
On Friday evening Kim called and asked if we could house sit
for her while they are away. Having nothing better to do we readily agreed and
moved into her place in Durban North on Saturday. It has been a hectic time
since then, Keagan has had 3 friends over, Kirsten and Brad came down for a few
nights from Richards Bay and Keanu came down from Joburg.
Today, the last of the gang left but we are alone only until
Wednesday when Nika gets here. Today I spent the day getting Barry’s Kindlebook ready, and it goes on sale tomorrow! Even with all this action Barry has
not managed to feel cheerful about his book, for some reason he feels a little
upset.

We also got an offer on our house which we put up for sale a
few months ago as the rental has not been working out for us.
Tomorrow we are heading across to the Bluff to collect
Kyle’s insoles and we are hoping to see our Neighbours on Maxscene on Wednesday
as they are down in Durban for the Lipton cup and MSC week races.

Wow a jam packed holiday and I am already feeling sad that
Keagan has to leave this weekend to get back to school.

The last 2 days have been a whirlwind. Barry’s book went
live in the Kindle store, we already have sales so thanks to those who have
already ordered. Those who haven’t can do so now by clicking this link http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DTX9BLE. If you have read the
book and would like to please place a review on Amazon!
We also went out sailing yesterday to watch the Lipton Cup.
We were with friends from Richards Bay on Maxscene and had a fantastic day.
Thanks Donna and Kevin for the outing and it was great to see Gus and Salome as
well!
We collected Nika at the airport yesterday to stay with us
until Saturday…yip, little time at home and more time out than usual also the
whole day out on the ocean again was fantastic, even though all our teenagers
slept like babies!
14th July
We move back aboard last night and I have to say, sitting
here I can think of many conveniences I will miss:
1.
A Hot bath everyday!
2.
A real life toaster
3.
A warm cosy dry bed
4.
The simplicity of going out
5.
The endless supply of electricity
Oh well, the pleasures we get aboard will return like:
1.
…..
Oh who am I kidding, let me think about it and if I find 1 I
will get back to you…
It’s not that bad though…or we wouldn’t be doing it!
