Greg and Leisha have bought a new car, a white Mazda 2. They decided to drive up to visit us for the weekend to see what we are up to and try out the new car. It is about 130kms from Sydney and took them an hour and a half to get to Toronto. There is a surprising amount of room in the Mazda and we all went for a drive around the northern part of the lake to Belmont. On the way we called into the Marmong Point Marina to enquire about the cost of pulling Rene out next year to do the antifouling etc. We were impressed with the facility and the prices of haul-out and storage on the hardstand were competitive, so this is probably where Peter will take Rene in April when we come back to start our next season.
We have decided to leave Rene in Lake Macquarie on a RMYC Toronto mooring for the summer, when we go home. We are hoping that Greg and Leisha will occasionally come up and use her to explore the lake, have a weekend break and keep an eye on Rene for us. Roger has also indicated that he will make sure she is OK.
On Sunday the four of us motored over to Green Point on Rene. The weather was perfect and the lake beautiful, sparkling in the sunshine. We had a lovely day with Greg and Leisha showing them the bush walks, soaking up the sun and watching the other boats out on the water. Our two dolphins joined us again, swimming in the bow wave, but this time they behaved normally. They were impressed with this beautiful water-way, (who would not be?) and I think they will be happy to use Rene now and again over the summer. Thanks for coming up to see us Leisha and Greg - a Father's Day to remember!
