Paying bills with our mobile internet wifi, weird , I'm so used to having the main computer then all the lap tops n phones n tablets from the router, and having a printer/scanner set up, so strange.
It's also kind of hard having a little Engel fridge, well a big Engel but a small fridge, I miss my cold water and ice dispencer on the front. I'm hoping we find a unit in Port Douglas with room for our stuff, then we can begin feeling like things are coming togeather.
Free to air is shit tv too. It's kind of good, stops us, well me watching too much. Hoople is cleaning the bottom of the dingy now, he's still finding this a chore, but he's a pretty glass half empty kind of guy.
I'm getting sail bags to use for making the galley work, so far I can get meals togeather, but not my kind of meals, like laksa and curries, I don't have my herbs here yet, but things are slowly happening. I saw some fabulous cook boxes on Pinterest, them and bags should keep things we need at hand, without flying around when we're moving. Can also et up a good cmap kitchen somewhere on a nice beach, portable cook boxes.
We have so much to do in the way of maintanence and keeping it dry, I'm doing cosmetic stuff, but getting rid of mould isn't just cosmetic, moud is very bad for health. I think when we get shelves and broom cupboard sorted we can use the pointy end, get another cushion and make it all bed, Hoople can store stuff in those cupboards.
We've spent so much money just to get on here, we have fuck all left to get shit happening, and we still need a wind generator and batteries to go with it, and air con, living in the tropics is nice on the ocean, but we're up the creek next to the mangrove, we can't sit or sleep outside at night.
Anyway I'm still enjoying it here though, just learning how to make it work and be totally comfortable without sending us to the poor house, it's having a go at that. It's so cheap to live here that we should get on to of things, just that I keep spending on family trips, babies birthdays christmas, they all need tohappen. It'll sort itself once we do have a unit for income and we;ve paid credit cards off.
Money money money, a real issue any time, but marins stuff is so expensive.
BUT, living on this mooring, will sae us heap in the end.
