Wow! What happened to May?

The Bloke here,

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced an increase in the speed that time passes. I know time is supposed to be a constant or at least a constant for those non-theoretical physicists amongst us BUT somehow May 2016 seems to have passed by much faster than usual.

Now, as I am in constant communication with the 'Blog Mistress', giving her a good 'listening to' on a regular basis, I know she is planning to bring you up to speed on what has happened and how I stuffed it up. In the meantime however, here is a quick synopsis of what happened during May.
  • Arrived Gold Coast, at night, motoring to Hope Harbour Marina and spent a hectic and entertaining four days preparing Zofia for a rest from our company.
Hope Harbour Ramada Resort
  • Traveled to Brizvagas to have a night with the kids, then caught a plane to Perth.
Amy and Lily -Brizvagas sleep-over
  • Spent about 2 weeks in Perth catching up with family and friends. Reset the taste buds with some of the best sausage rolls in Australia. Put on 2 Kilos around the middle and discovered that my PSA was still detectable and increasing. Oh shit!

Best sausage rolls in Australia, Thanks Mum!
  • Flew back to Brizvagas spent the weekend with the kids and then Lucas and Tom dropped us back to Hope Harbour. Woke Zofia up, caught up with our new friends in the marina and then motored around to The Boatworks.
  • Spent a week cleaning Zofia up. New make-up on her bottom, some facial work with polish on the hull and deck and a tinkering down under with new engine oil, belts and filters. She is looking pretty and ready to party -Don't be home late dear as Mum and Dad will be waiting up!
  • Splashed the girl and then off for another night with the kids in Brizvagas. Early morning appointment in hospital for another scan.  Results good, no sign of Prostate Cancer so will have more blood tests in 3-4 months. Yippeee! Off the the Whitsundays we go.
  • Leave The Boatworks to catch up with Marg and Bob on Casablanca. Ran aground, taking off some of the new paintwork on Zofia's bottom, dragged anchor a couple of hours later and then when we'd settled for the night, experienced 'wind over tide' so the chain tried to scratch off the polish!
  • Navigated the narrow and shallow channels that the Brizvagas Cruisers call a 'waterway' and now at rest in a lovely place. Where are we? What day is it? How did we get here? What the hell happened to MAY!!!!!

  1. Glad to hear about your good results Brian X as for running aground - you're not a real sailor until you've run aground, hit the jetty as you come in and - well I can't think of the third thing actually but we've all done it if we're honest! Take care, much love Jx
