Go to the Account tab in the window that pops up.
Click the Add an account button.
Enter your personal Microsoft email address and complete the sign-in prompts.

Toondah Harbour, Cleveland 

I awoke at 4:55 and made a coffee to help the others start their engines.

Just after 5:30 we were on our way. At Cleveland, we found a council car park near the Sealink terminal. 

Mags was very nervous.  Shaking. I took her up on top but hard to get a photo of her.  Chatted to a carpenter apprentice Xavier.

Phoebe's brother Picked us up. It's a dual cab with a capsule on the back. Mags had to be in there on her own. I kept her on a long rope so she couldn't eat the native wild life. 

We walked the 100m to the beach. Slept on the sand. Walked into the sea up to my knees. 

Lovely lunch of chicken and salad in the back yard.
