Thursday afternoon we finally left Sydney after seeing Pink Lady safely hulled out of the water and onto the truck. Driving up over the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the way out of town I couldn't help thinking about how next time I’ll be seeing the bridge from a different angle . . . as I sail under it! As I type, we’re headed north, home to the Sunshine Coast, with the truck and Pink Lady somewhere behind us.
We spent the extra time in Sydney starting a few jobs, making lists, and discussing how we’d tackle a few tricky problems. The must do work list before I’m able to go sailing tallies at 21 jobs and 24 man days. So, divide that amongst the team and I’m away!
This link is to the segment I did with Thursday Night Live the other week. Now you’ll be able to understand what I meant about the curly hair!

I’ll keep this post brief as I need to get some sleep so I can be ready to see Pink Lady back into the water tomorrow, but I’d like to finish by saying a special thanks to Dad - for all that sleep you’ve given up, all that time you spend on the phone, and for your patience with me!!

Dear Jessica,
I am enjoying your blog and I don't think I can fully comprehend the exciting adventure you are taking on. You have inherited your mother's and father's "can do" attitude and congratulate you all for your fortitude and conviction. I knew you and your family when you lived on the Gold Coast and therefore wish to send my best wishes and will keep reading the blog to follow your wonderful dreams. Safe winds, Wendy Stewart

Jessica,
No one else has said it, so I will -
This American thinks you look
"smashing" with curls!
(I hope that is a proper use of the word.)
I'll be following you on the blog and praying for your safety, too!
Cheers,
Glenn

Well you have surely been quite busy so time is flying by. You always look "smashing" and I look forward to some shots when you get underway.
I check in everyday so I know I won't miss a note.
Take care and God Bless.
