Special Education Unit. Autistic kids and such.
Tom, that's good she's not being cut up, at least. (well, not completely)
She'll get more use as a playground than most of our boats get from their owners as boats.Comment

Re: Antipodean Boats Connection
Quite true.
AltoughI am not so sure how the implementation and the logistics of transport the necessary cradle ,WHS compliance and issues such as antifoul paint and oil in the bilges will be addressed.
Undoubtedly the kids will have a unique playground but as we all know there is no such thing as a free boat.
Mike is sad but relieved and he did end up with 1000 for the boat, which will pay for the haulout and hard stand.
As it stands the real value is his prime position mooring in the Broadwater at Labrador ,which he aquired years ago at a costs of $50 annually.Comment

Antipodean Boats Connection
M-Arawana news.
I checked the sticks and rigging and found the aluminium sticks to be very corroded, so I've given up on the idea of sailing her as is.
Preps for splashing her for a row are progressing well in this wicked heat. The bowsprit and mainsheet blocks are off. Blocks are in great nick. I checked the tow ring assembly and all seems good and sturdy.
I went out and bought more rowlock sockets. This time I got the ones that mount almost flush to the gunnels, down through the top near the edge. Unfortunately I now need to install two extra inspection hatches so I can get nuts on the bolts that go down through the gunnels. There may be a simpler solution but it's very hot here, I'm very hot, and my brain has stalled. It's officially a tomorrow job now.
I've thought more about the kite business and still intend to do some of that. I'll be wearing a life jacket. It could be great.

Sky here is full of thick smoke and fine ash falling but the fire is 50K north west of us in the state forest (lightning) and going NW towards Jindivik-Gembrook area. Not in control yet. It's quite still here.
Smoke has reduced the temperature and the birds are very nervous but there's nothing in our area at all. So far. But it looks like it's just over the hill.
Princes highway and freeway closed, Wilson's prom campers being moved off because of the risk.
Good luck to the fireys and those nearby.Comment
