If you're planning to enjoy the long weekend with some recreational boating, we've got some top tips!

As we’re going into colder weather it becomes more important to keep safety a top priority. Did you know that in water, the body loses heat 20 to 30 times faster than it does in air! 😲 We encourage boaties to remember these five simple precautions:

• Wear your lifejacket
• Take two waterproof ways to call for help
• Check the marine weather forecast
• Avoid alcohol
• Be a responsible skipper

And remember, if in doubt, don’t go out 🐟

Would you like someone you can trust to look after your home so not to leave it empty? Walk your dog/s ? Feed your cat/s ? Water your plants ? Bring in your mail ? I am looking for a house to sit while I am in transition. I can provide you with excellent house sitting/ pet sitting references. I am also a professional domestic cleaner, with the option of cleaning and even deep cleaning your home so it could be an even more pleasant to return home to. Imagine that after a holiday away.

The best situation is one where we can help each other :)

I am looking for long term or short term from Saturday 27th April. Thank you.
