Turns out that Sydney Harbour has a lot of birds. During our action packed five day trip to Melbourne (thank you Browns for hosting us!), a whole flock of flappers took up residence on poor Hydroquest. Her solar panels, boom, and dodger suffered the worst.

This will not happen again. HQ now looks like a fishing trip gone very wrong.

It took us eight months to sail here, but we’ll get back to Vancouver after 28 hours of travel…

No birds allowed
