Jimmy! (Sorry Jimbo, I pinched your tour photo...)
For those who've waded through the blog, you'll know that it was during a trip to Sydney to see a Jimmy Buffet concert that we spotted our future boat. So, it was only appropriate that when the ol' fella was playing in Melbourne that we should take the trip to town aboard Endurance.
With just Paul Rose and myself aboard, (Mary is still working during the daytime) we had a beautiful sail up the Bay, and pulled into Docklands on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
With a prime position on the edge of the city, I reckon that parking Endurance on the public mooring at Docklands is better than any hotel. By a mile!

Room with a view please.
Apart from the concert itself, It was a nice few days in the Big Smoke, bringing home bright new waterproof binoculars, and a shiny new petrol-powered generator to keep the energy flowing.
The cruise home was pleasant enough too, in warm Spring weather with not a breath of breeze for most of the way.
A beautiful few days of weather followed that, providing a great opportunity to clean up everything above decks in the sunshine.
I've been tending to hide down below for most of the maintenance work over winter, but it feels great to hang out on deck and make everything clean again.
