Sunday at Blairgowrie.

Had a bit of a lay in ,up about 8.30 and had breakfast.Got a call from Royce,do you want our leftovers,cheese a bit of rum heaps of milk and some veggies.Ok we will drop them off going past.

Called up Graeme McKibbern to see if he would come over for the trip to Beauty Point.He was standing in bosun for the departed Haggis at the Royals.

Being a serial yacht deliverer he booked a ticket for Tuesday,Ben showed him the travel ropes getting around Melbourne.

Pottered around the boat and sorted out a few things which needed doing.

Decided to go up to Blairgowrie for lunch of Flathead tails and chips,bought a few things for the boat.

Got a call from James Carter an old Hobart resident and friend of the Siltmans.Can I pick you up for a drink at 5.30 .Sounds good to me .I really have not been off the boat very much since I have been here evidenced by being  a bit unsteady after one drink at the presentation night.

Was interesting to have the real money properties pointed out,Lindsay Fox,half a mile with eight houses,Rupert Murdocks sister etc.

I was informed they are on a beautiful beach which is the only North facing in Port Phillip.

James house is in a quiet area and a pleasant design.

Had a couple of Gins and nibbles with his wife and another friend.A pleasant interlude.

Returned to the boat to have some ravioli and pasta sauce found in the cupboard,had a glass of Royce's or Heathers Merlot, ice cream and watched the cricket.

Photo is one of the local clubs training yachts.Four or five going back and forward all afternoon.

The larger yachts had a race starting off the breakwater at 9 am this morning,must have been a special race as they were crewed by mostly juniors ,water fights on the marina when they returned.

For the Moth sailors,another perfect Moth breeze,15 to 20 SSE.Blue sky sparkling water!

Noticed my outboard tank returned full when arrived back on board.Turned out the young fellows were friends not sons as I thought.
