2014!!

Well, the 3rd came and everyone had left to go back to their jobs and we were left alone. Happy to be going back to Sj Sunflower and have some chill out time after a hectic couple of weeks. We were both exhausted and happy just to chuck on a movie and relax. The 2nd night the breeze was up a little and at 4am we were rudely awakened. Sunflower shook like hell with a crash and the roar of engines, a workboat had hit us. I ran out starkers yelling profanities at the fellas would have been a pretty funny sight but I didn't have much of a sense of humour at the time! Turned out they were backing out of their berth and the wind got them and they caught us on their starboard aft quarter hitting our bow. They chopped of our 2nd anchor rope  and were lucky enough not to suck up our main anchor chain and all. We came out with just some tire marks so were very lucky. We also got a neighbour, a Scottish fella from Fremantle on Scarlet sailing single handed. 

This is the workboat that backed into us
