Gradually the cruisers are departing from Fannie Bay. Henk and Sogno d’Oro have set sail two days ago for Cocos Keeling Islands or Christmas Island. Myself I will stay here until my birthday. I am very happy about this because I really like it here in Darwin. Besides, Guppy still has to be lifted out of the water and each time a thing from the to-do-list is striked off there is something more to add to it… But gradually Guppy is becoming a seaworthy boat again. It has rained for the first time since I am here! A small tornado came passing near by which means that the rainy season is about to start. But happily, overall it is just as dry and hot as usual ..
