Off to Sydney

Sunday, 29 May 2011 Brisbane to Sydney
Well the time has finally come to head south to pick up our new Seawind 1160. We had a lot of gear to bring down so decided to try to get a one way campervan relocation. Warren had visions of a luxury Winnebago with all the mod cons but what we ended up with was a Hippie Camper.

While we were dubious about the vans capacity, we were pleasantly surprised by how much fitted in. With our essentials packed (storm jib, tools, ropes, EPIRB, clothes, towels, sheets etc), Warren started to add some of the nice to haves (DVDs, extra fuel containers, fishing gear). The van got us here in one piece and we didn't have to worry about getting booked speeding.

Unfortunately the heavens opened as we approached Sydney and heavy rain made the unloading on Monday at Birkenhead Point marina difficult. We stored everything in the Seawind office so we could do the handover in a clear boat.
