collect our bikes |

We had an amazing electrical storm that night and so we sat out on the
back of the boat drinking wine watching it.
Can't get much better |

Tuesday 5 February
Kairen and Wendy in the galley preparing breakfast |
 |
On the way back to Fremantle
(Despite her misgivings, Kairen had actually ENJOYED her two days
(and nights) on the boat. Aphrodite is a much bigger boat than
David and Wendy's previous one. There was even a suggestion of a
repeat trip!) |
