pre planing for month long trip

My wife Tina has her long service leave up and we are going to use 4 weeks of leave to visit the spencer gulf area particulary the Sir Joseph Banks group of islands ,Port Lincoln and a port i promised myself as a 9 year old that i would visit , Port Broughton which was our family summer holiday destination but i digress,this trip has been planned for over 2 years as we counted down till my wifes 10 years of long service finally wound down and here we are in just over a month till we leave and i have been busy with last minute fixes and purchases,Firstly last month i anti fouled our hulls, i fitted a wedge to the outboard motor to level out the motor in the water, i turned fifty and part of my presents were all the charts of KI and spencer gulf !and my latest project is fitting 4x rope janmmers to our cabin top which should make life alot easier especially when handling our latest purchase ,a spinnaker which should increase our rate of knots well hopefully !i will try to add some photos of our tri and if we get a good signal we will be posting regulary on our trip thats it, cheers for now
