Sunday 17th September 2017
It is maintenance Sunday today, and I get
to work polishing the rest of the stainless steel, and manage to get some wax
on the easily accessible parts of the deck and cockpit, particularly around the
instruments.
It turns out that Moonshadow thought better
of leaving yesterday, and are now hanging around and leaving with Dalwhinnie
and ourselves for Masthead Island tomorrow morning, early.
After our chores we went for our morning
walk around the Northern end of the marina, this time. Dalwhinnie have been
parked way over there away from everyone else as they were concerned about the
depth inside the marina.

There is a nice villa development at this
boundary of the marina, and a lot of cleared land which looks ready for further
activity if demand ever warrants it. All
this development appears to e part of the marina complex.
Amazingly as we have gone from port to
port, there are still many people too tight to go into a marina and are
prepared to anchor out in the middle of the ocean and put up with the wind and
waves.
I would rather be in the marina
We had a relaxing afternoon and decided to
catch the bus into town for dinner at the Keppel Bay Sailing Club, a nice club
right on the beach in Yeppoon. Brian and Amanda from Dalwhinnie and Pip and
Marg from Moonshadow joined us. It was a good meal and the courtesy bus from
the club ran us back to the marina, for an early nights rest.
