We are already keen to move on with all of
the things that needed to be attended to here now out of the way. Our berth is
paid up till Friday, and both Wilparina and ourselves have extra crew arriving
on Thursday for the long passages ahead. The tides for crossing the river bars
are all at the wrong times, so we have now resolved to just get home doing a
couple of overnight sails.
To get a bit of exercise, we walked along
the beachside to Surfers Paradise, and back. They are currently preparing for
the V8 Supercar racing up here later this month and barricades and stands are
being erected in the streets. It all looks pretty ugly.
Great way to spoil a beachfront, erecting barriers for V8 Supercar racing
Kim has left Wilparina and caught the bus
to Coffs Harbour to meet up with their family there. Steve has a couple of guys
to help him sail the boat down there also on Friday, where they intend to spend
some family time and stay a week or two.
We will push on while the Northerlies
persist.
Steve, Bob, Carole and I wandered down to Tedder Ave for dinner and dined at Lemongrass Thai (which was BYO). It was terrible. The service was almost non existent, we got served the wrong meals, and the food we ordered took forever to arrive, and when it did, it was pretty ordinary. Don't expect to see them still in business when we are next up here.
