I'll be working but will have the following 9 days off to spend on the water front at 1770 with some of my family. Looking forward to it.

Not sure what I'll be doing yet. My wife if due to have a hand operation a few days before so we where just going to play it by ear and see how she is before committing to go anywhere. But if we do it will be somewhere between Albany and Esperance I think

have a great time, but I suspect you won't get much sleep as you'll have one eye open all night watching your boat.....

Couple of years ago I ended up with a spare 3m anchor chain. Depending on where I'm camped with the boat, on ocassion I padlock it to a tree

I'll be living vicariously through your posts as I slave away at work...

x2

Gotta work on the Monday and the missus has me working on the weekend - laying turf, cleaning and resealing the deck, replacing damaged skirting and architraves and if I get time I'm allowed to replace the suspension on the Triton.

And to top it off I need to be interstate first thing Wednesday morning for work which means Tuesday arvo/evening travel.

Have fun everyone I look forward to reading about your time off, happy camping and safe travels.

Looks like I'm painting a carport extension and putting a roof on it if the rain stays away long enough on the weekend  :'(

Four nights at Mount Beauty Holiday Park in our tent and massive top tarp. Fortunately there is great mobile signal so we can continue researching the new Swan the lady wants (or the Mountain Trail that I want lol).

We're pitched beside a bubbling little stream and the rain is pattering steadily on the tarp.😀

i'm off to a good start...already planned 3 different other things I'm doing today instead of that painting, so not looking like much will get achieved today...lol. Not doing the roof until after it's painted, and the forecast wet weather over next few days will hopefully stop my painting...what a shame if that work just can't get done and I relax instead hey...lol
