Visitors to the port this week... Alamak, Kuiwarrak, chip ship Raku Yoh (departing as I write), one Navy Vessel, notably Water Police vessel 11 "Nemesis" brand new from Western Australia being delivered by our very own Sergeant Jim Hinckley, Monaco Lady and Miri.

It's quite a goodly gathering for this time of year.

After being on the skids for so long I appreciate being afloat again; and my heartfelt thanks to you all for the cards and good messages to cheer me up.

Now I know how "Maureen" has felt after all these years of restoration.

I could even get fishing again...soon.

Wonderful to meet so many people in hospital as patients and staff who have been in contact over the years I have lived around here.

Bless you all and keep floating. Maybe back into full sail ahead.
