Australia Day

Today, Jan 26 is Australia Day. The Australian Navy commander here had a Bar-B-Que at his place, Wallaby Downs (funded by the Navy). Lots of beer, wine and soda. They invited the yachts and of course all the Ausies living here plus lots more. They had "snags and dead horse".

Trinda seems over the flu, but may be developing an allergy to either teak saw dust or coral dust. As we arrived at the party she had hives on her arms and more. They cleared up shortly. Within minutes of returning to the boat she was itching again. (And we can't find the benadryl, I know we have some here somewhere! ) It hasn't rained for a few days and the streets are dusty, so its hard to tell which it is. She seems better now, who knows.

Still paint stripping, sanding and varnishing.
