Thursday 22nd
As departure had been delayed by at least a day, another game of golf was in order. We retained the hire car and booked in to play at Bundaberg Golf Course.
After a short drive to the North of the city we were soon there, and it had lots of trees, narrow fairways and a bit of water in the wrong places, not a good formula.
Suffice to say, Carole quickly reversed her poor fortune at Coral Cove and recorded 34 points to Mike's 26 points, reversing the lead to 4 points in her favour, keeping the Mica Cup very much in contention.
We found our way home via the usual shopping centre, went to the post office and put in an application for a postal vote for the Federal Election, and headed back to the marina to find out how Cooinda had faired with their repairs. The good news was that the bearing had arrived, the bad news was that it didn't fit the shaft and housing and some minor machining work was needed to rectify this. A local machining shop were on the case, but it wouldn't be ready till tomorrow morning.
We decided to wait an extra day, given a pretty ordinary weather forecast for tomorrow and put our trust in the engineering firm that were fixing it, with a strong belief that all would be well in the morning.
We were golfed out so tomorrow we will keep the hire car and do some sightseeing.
Tonight we all headed off to the Lighthouse Hotel in Burnett Heads for dinner.
