It was great for us to have Janine, Christine's daughter come across from WA for a 5 day visit. She flew to Brisbane and then caught the Tilt train to Maryborough. This meant a 40 minute bus trip to Hervey Bay to meet us at the Marina. The weather was not kind for the first three days and conditions on and off the boat (even though we were in the Marina,) were far from good. Janine coped well with the conditions. Fortunately because the weather was great on her last two days we were able to get across to Kingfisher Bay (which included a nice sail) and enjoy the warm weather, the resort (which Janine took to very well) and a little fishing. To ensure a calm night we went across and anchored at the mouth of the Susan River for one night. She seemed to enjoy life aboard Family Affair which can be described as a cross between caravanning, a house boat and a sailing yacht. We also managed to have some retail therapy (mainly due to the weather) and Peter took us out to dinner one night. We thoroughly enjoyed her stay and hope to have others join us in the future.
