December - another year almost over

Finally got the dinghy back in the water November 28.

Loaded with beach stuff

We launched at the sailing club and headed for the beach. Naturally the weather didn't cooperate so I drove the jeep back home and Gerry managed to bump his way through the waves. Glad I wasn't with him.



The weather wasn't good for the beach until today, but we did get some chores done. Dirty Girl is really really big when it comes to cleaning her but she was living up to her name and it needed doing.

Today we decided to see if anyone has fixed the beach road. It appears that people with 4 wheel drive have managed to get through the sand but ours doesn't work.




Today Gerry wasn't taking no for an answer. He added a lot more stones to the ones someone had put down on the other side of the tree, cut a root off and gave it a go.

perseverance

It does appear that the stones are well placed and very flat but I assure you this is not the case. Not only that but there is a really big root in that mess that was too big to cut away with a chainsaw.

Undaunted he took a run at it:

roots

stones

 After some tweaking:

And this was his reward:

Sand and surf to the east of us.

Sand and surf to the west of us.
