Darwin

The time has been flying by, only 12 days before we are off to Indonesia and a different world.  We have been running around doing paper work, for example just made 30 copy's of our passports and boat registration, Visa's and crew list, that's 30 copies of each!  Got our Visa's from the Indonesia embassy which took two trips there.  Printing out a couple of books on Indonesia we were given e-copies of.  Stocking up on food items hard to get in Indonesia.  Also trying to get some sight seeing in around town as well.

There is also a fair amount of socializing that takes up time. We are renting a car in two days with Chad and Kelli of Just Magic to get the propane tanks filled and few other items that are hard to do on foot or bike. Have not had too much work to do on the boat as we did it all down in Manly and Bundaberg,  Just changed the engine oil and a few other small items. Also visited the local museum by the Darwin sailing club.  It has a large stuffed crocodile called Sweetheart that used to knock over small boats, very impressive.
   Once we are in Indonesia the Internet there is very slow and intermittent so blog updates may be few and far between until up to Singapore and Thailand area.
