GERO LIFE

Day 358

Geraldton, WA

Sam rang this morning and said he was coming in from Big Bank on one engine. There's been a serious storm over the last week called Cyclone Nicholas which has affected the fisherman off the WA coast. It's been coming down from Exmouth and following the coast line.

Sam had already said he knocked off two of his spotlights in the weather and today he said one of his engines has failed.

Elise, Greg and I went shopping at Northgage for food. Spent $138 on groceries and some other things we needed like moisturizer etc.

We went down to the Town Beach with Scupper to have a swim because it was so hot (36 degrees) and while we were there Sam rang and said he was on his way in.

So we hurried back to Elise's, had our showers and drove down to the wharf where he is moored. We missed his arrival..but we saw him as he was unloading and got some good shots of his boat, the Arora.

He ended up cooking us a beautiful seafood dinner including cray, scallops and prawns Elise had brought over. SO YUMMY! He's a superb cook. Wine flowed..and Jack Daniels ended the night's festivities.

He's so happy with Allie. At one stage I was just looking at them both and they seem so in love. It's great to see Elise happy with David and expecting her first child and Sam, for the first time, really happy in himself, with his life, including Allie, the boat, and his outlook.

It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling awwwww

Slept under the buzz of the overhead fan...with poor Greg suffering from the heat. The heat seemed unrelenting, even at night.

NB Got emails from people asking where the BLOG IS!!! Jaak and Silvia were the first. Then Rob and Noreen. They're missing it!!!! Hopefully we can get it back 'on the air' soon - once we sort out the problems the site is having.
