Tom’s in Melbourne and getting settled. Most importantly I got out sailing - winter is not always so bad here.

I’m renting a cute two bedroom cottage across the street from the beach. Not much furniture yet, but I did scavenge a cute little computer desk that means I don’t have to put my laptop on my knees.

Work search continuing, definitely better to be on the ground here rather than applying remotely.

Not as good as being home with Deb and the boys on Foxy Kitty, but it will do for now.

Well, just completed the last big job before I leave for Australia - installing the new battery (8S configuration of 700Ah Winston Thundersky LYP cells), new 123SmartBMS, new disconnect and pre-alarm relays, and tidied up the wiring. The battery is a snug fit! All works as it should!!

Deb’s in her happy place!

It’s official, Tom is heading to Melbourne to do some ‘real’ work and rebuild our cruising kitty (that’s referring to money in an investment/savings form) after prolonged refit mistakes in the past year that we need to redo and took up several years of cruising funds. Sigh.

Tom’s last day with Foxy Kitty will be 12 June. There will definitely be some back and forth between Lumut and Melbourne, but it will be a lonely time for us both.

Maybe 18 months? That takes us to the next west coast cruising season. Stay tuned!

This is how I found out.
A few weeks ago I went to get my prescription sunglasses frame replaced. They broke late last year and were irrepairable. The optician found a problem with my vision and referred me to an eye specialist who I saw the next day. He discovered I have a hole in my left eye and said there a high chance of the hole being repairedsurgically. Also there was a 50 50 chance of improved vision. The problem is called macular degeneration. He referred me to a specialist eye surgeon that I saw a couple of days later (after the weekend).
First hint of this was when I went to get my driver's license renewed in NZ last January. When doing the eye test I couldn't see the letters with just my left eye. I went to a nearby optician who just wrote me a letter saying I needed to wear corrective lenses whilst driving. No questions were asked by them nor any tests given.
