Summer in the subtropics

Thomasina is back in her home port now safely tied up and prepared for the subtropical summer.

With heavy rain, strong winds and the potential of cyclones being the norm, good mooring lines are vital.

While back home its time for repairs and maintenance, hatches need to be fixed, varnish applied, hatch covers to be sown up.

But there's still time to spend the odd day or two anchored off the sandy beaches here, diving into the water to cool off and spending some quality time (mini-weekend breaks) in our little water front home over the long hot summer.
