In May I was offered passage as crew on board a yacht sailing North of Port Stephens. How could I refuse? I had planned to leave my job, LJ was gone and Winter was drawing in with it's frosty mornings. It seemed like an exciting way to tour up the East coast of Australia into the sunshine. I didn't have many belongings to take. The only thing I had tying me down was the worm farm! If I wanted to go sailing I'd have to trade up, and fast!
Captain Yacaaba collected me from Bundabah Creek at work and I went to stay the night, see if we were compatible sailors and happy for me to join as crew. It went well so I stayed for 3 nights. Before I returned to work to collect my things I sent a few texts to the staff to see who might want the worm farm. I crossed my fingers hoping I might secure a laptop from Matt. It was a long shot but you never know!
I got dropped off and collected a few hours later. Captain Yacaaba couldn't believe it when I arrived with the laptop under my arm! Matt had traded me for the worm farm! I couldn't believe it! I had traded up to something that was portable and of greater value! It had a damaged screen but it was still good. Enough. I guess.
Tiwi stood in for Matt on the photo as he wasn't around. (No I didn't steal the trade item!) And I shortly set sail into the sunset with a shiny new (ok maybe not so shiny or new) laptop! Yay!
