Preview 3 | 'Another Day in Paradise'
Another beautiful day in paradise! Well, I have been feeling very good. Graham, on the other hand, has been feeling ordinary! The food poisoning from Friday has taken the energy from my Navi, but he's getting better by the day.

Preview 2 | 'They're in Tassie'
Well, we got onto the Spirit of Tasmania on Friday night in time to sail to Devonport. Graham thought our 'inside cabin' was a bit small, but he quickly learned that you don't need much room to have a good sleep!
