leavin' on a jet plane....

Well, cyclone Yasi hit the coast about 500m N of us.  It did a lot of damage to several small tourist communities behind the Great Barrier Reef.  Cairns was spared the worst of it but Port Hinchinbrook was hit hard enough to pile all the boats in the marina up on the shore!

All is quiet on the 'cyclone front' at the moment.

The Toketie crew have booked flights to Malaysia and will escape for a while to do some land travel.  The plan is to put Toketie safely up in the yard till we return.
