The car was full with their food and belongings so there was no room for grog,a necessary requirement before setting sail,they rectified this by viisiting the bottle shop,I had bought one carton from Hamers the night before but at 70 bucks a carton a different approach was required.
Choroz got on the net and found the Thirsty Camel was a lot more reasonable so took the car up and also replaced the gas bottle and filled the outboard tank.
Eventually the old crew took possession of the car and pushed off for home,the new drier in the laundrymat finished my washing so we were free to have a wander about.
I had a nana and bought the blog up to date and wandered down to the Fisherman’s wharf to see Bill on His new boat GOGO.He has gone from the smallest boat in the fleet to one of the largest!Julie ,his wife loves it! She is timber and an older racing yacht ,goes like a hairy goat at sea.A lot of work ahead of him to get her as he would like it.
Had a beer and a pleasant hour or so with the large contingent of Victorians,nearly half the fleet,Bill is their Commodore and fix it man,and he sure is busy,one nearly sank yesterday while they were sitting on it!My crew brought up a new stern gland to be fitted today.
Back to the pub,we had been told you do not need to book for dinner,open at six.
They were having a beer in the bar when I arrived at five past to find the resteraunt nearly full and a que out the door.
We decided to go back to the boat for dinner.
A busy day.
