Sold

Our trusty one dollar boat was sold today by auction.

She has served us well and it's sad to see her go in such a state. Impressive though that in a recession she sold for 1340 times her original value. Not a bad two year investment.

From Pier 21

The insurance company didn't want our "wreck" so Tui in the Hand had to go back to sea. Frenchie and Sam started at Mexicali then hoped aboard. We motored out of the marina without much trouble and downed our burritos and had one last Tui in the Hand. The wind started to pick up and the waves made things exciting, but we actually manged to get back to Devonport in just over an hour and a half. We moored close to the beach on the milk-bottle mooring and that was about it.
