Retuning to Australia after many years away it was time to finish some of the jobs that were never completed during construction – some head liners and to rejuvenate some of the places that had either taken a battering or were looking a bit sad. I started to do this in Batemans Bay Marina but the dodgey developers had turned the atmosphere toxic and many people were unhappy and complaining. I left and legal action is pending. I initiated action was via Crown Lands the lease holders which are now after many years coming to fruition – it must have cost them $250- $300,000 A lot more than I would have got via compensation.
With this distraction and having to move to Bermagui I could not just pop down to the boat and do a few hours work so the time dragged out and the kilometers on the van’s speedo increased and the to-do list kept the same length but still I achieved some progress.
