The Panda has arrived and with a few ‘repairs’ and modifications, was packed up for its maiden voyage to Inverloch for a forecast wet weekend shake down cruise and leak test.
The trip down was un-eventful and the Panda towed pretty well. Nothing really moved around inside and more importantly nothing fell off. The camp setup was equally un-eventfull; the Panda was setup in a matter of minutes.
A storm rolled in across the ocean and into the inlet. We ahd to make a dash back to camp to check the Panda, and lucky we did because eceyone in the park was rolling up their awnings, some leaving it a bit late and the awning blowing around like boat sails.

The storm was pretty impressive and the Panda generally didnt seem to bothered by it, although we found a couple of leaks that can be put down to poor workmanship and not the Panda itself. The rain blown onto the road side of the van has pushed water into the back of the aircon, which has then run down the cabinet and luckily dripped onto the sink
